programs » Gay City Arts

Gay City Health Project is a proud supporter of queer and queer-friendly arts through our Gay City Arts program, and includes a variety of artistic programming in fulfillment of our mission to promote gay and bisexual men's health. Our Gay City Anthologies (Volumes 1,2, 3, & 4) provide a creative forum for previously unpublished queer comic art, fiction, poetry, and photography. Gay City Arts also presented the Seattle premier of The Infection Monologues, a touching, humorous, and though provoking performance that challenges the way we think about the contemporary HIV experience. With Smudgy Notebook, Gay City invites local queer writers to pass on their wisdom through a series of fascinating and fun writing workshops that have touched on topics such as poetry, self-expression, and humor.

Proudly Supporting Queer Arts

Please check the links below for more information on some of our queer arts programs.

Smudgy Notebook

An offshoot of last fall’s Writing Through Change workshop, Gay City is hosting a writing workshop series titled Smudgy Notebook. Each session will have a unique focus or topic. For more information, or to submit your proposal for a workshop, contact Susan Rees: 388-1707 / susan@gaycity.org

Gay City Anthologies

Gay City Anthologies produces vibrant, multi-disciplinary collections comprised of fiction, comics, poetry, photography and art. Our past contributors have included a very high percentage of emerging artists but these have been partnered with “tent-pole” contributors such as Ursula K. Le Guin, Tom Spanbauer, Michael Thomas Ford, Eric Orner, and Marc Acito.

Gay City TV

Responding to the reality that the internet is an increasingly popular outlet for gay men to make connections, Gay City brings you Gay City TV! GCTV aims to take advantage of the energy that men have engaging with one another on the internet, and turn it into action and power to affect change in their lives and health.
