What
Art Jam is a multi-day transgender run-and-focused festival and art making extravaganza!! Attendees share knowledge, try new things, build community and get silly in an environment that uplifts and affirms all gender identities, presentations and experiences. The weekend will also provide abundant opportunities for creative collaboration and connection. All participants are heartily encouraged to apply to lead their own classes, workshops, or demonstrations – we will provide whatever materials you need!

Who Can Attend
This event is open to trans and gender nonconforming artists of all skill levels and disciplines. It is run by transgender artists and open to anyone who self identifies as transgender or gender nonconforming. All attendees are expected to be respectful of all other attendees.

Admission to Art Jam includes access to curated workshops, art-making supplies, and finished works to bring home. All attendees will receive an Art Jam T-shirt as well as a sketchbook. We will provide meals and snacks over the 2.5 days. All attendees will also have the opportunity to apply to lead a workshop with full materials provided.
