Earth and Elm Studio – Beyond The Frame: Queer Youth Arts Showcase

Earth & Elm Studio and Wellness Service offers a unique blend of holistic therapies for those seeking a deeper connection with themselves and the world around them. They received funding towards the production of a queer youth arts showcase Beyond The Frame.

Beyond The Frame: Queer Youth Arts Showcase will create a safe and supportive platform for rural LGBTQIA+ young people to explore their creativity and proudly share their voices with the wider community. Across a series of inclusive workshops, participants will develop artwork that culminates in a public exhibition and celebration event.

Earth & Elm want to provide queer youth in regional areas with connection, visibility, and the confidence that their stories matter. By fostering self-expression and community pride, this project will reduce isolation, build resilience, and highlight the power of queer creativity in our region.
