CHROMATIC CIRCLE is a year-long, queer-led creative program offering monthly, arts-based sessions on Saturday afternoons. The program is designed to build community connection, visibility, and a sense of belonging for LGBTQIA+ people and allies.
Each month, participants are invited to explore a different art form, facilitated by LGBTQIA+ artists, musicians, filmmakers, and creative producers. Programmed by emerging artist Isaac Kozlovskis, each session is intentionally low-pressure, welcoming, and accessible to people of all ages, abilities, and levels of creative experience.

This experimental workshop invites participants to explore painting through text, found materials and everyday objects. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Mark Bradford and Howardena Pindell, participants will experiment with paint, stencils, pencils, textiles, appliqué, ephemera and discarded materials to create their own paintings.
We’ll explore how words, symbols, slang, abbreviations and personal language can become visual marks, images and icons. Through material play and experimentation, participants will consider how painting can move beyond the traditional canvas and become a way of exploring identity, connection and self-expression.
Participants are invited to bring found materials or rubbish from home.
