All Out Arts’ Fresh Fruit Festival and Howl! Arts present
The Importance of Being Engaged: a multi-disciplinary storytelling of connection, exploration, resistance, honoring, and nurturing across the queer community.

The Importance of Being Engaged centers queer voices across age, identity, and artistic medium — because showing up for one another is an act of art.
