About Open Space Arts / Queer Expression / Arts Judaica

QUEER EXPRESSION is a hybrid fest sponsored by Open Space Arts. QE has live performances at Facts on the last Wednesday of the month, while also streaming international queer films in an innovative film fest format.


Open Space Arts also produces live theater productions, readings, and workshops.


QE features films that have been recognized in festivals worldwide and have yet to be streaming on demand.


Our contest films are submitted through FilmFreeway, and submissions are taken throughout the year, as one of our goals is to get exciting new films in front of audiences quickly. If you are a filmmaker, please submit queer films of any length through FilmFreeway.



OSA membership is $10 per month, and members see all shorts and mid-length contest films for free and get discounted tickets for features.


Whether you are an artist or an audience member, we look forward to engaging with you as an artist or audience member.
