Queer Fringe: Event Report

With no Edinburgh Festival Fringe for the first time in 75 years, the vast majority of events in 2020 being cancelled and the ongoing devastating impact of venue closures across Scotland, LGBTQ+ artists are experiencing an unprecedented level of financial and personal strain. This is likely to be made worse by the compounding pre–existing health inequalitiesand issues affecting our community.

As LGBT Health and Wellbeing continues to explore our digital delivery, we wanted to create an opportunity to spotlight some of the talented artists in our community during August, to help connect them with an audience and initiate further support.

This is the report from our online Queer Fringe event in August 2020 that brought a selection of 14 local LGBTQ+ artists to promote and share their work with opportunities for us as an audience to find out how we can best support our community of queer creatives during challenging times.
