Well, well, well: Let's check the Qmmunity bulletin board for what's on the homorizon.

Pinned up top is an open artist call from LGBTQ youth advocates Out Youth. They need an artist who'll be able to help facilitate their vision of "a portable mural" that'll live at their community center and are offering a stipend of $4,200 for their work, which'll take place on May 20 alongside LGBTQ kiddos and other volunteers. Find more info at outyouth.org/oy-artist-call. Deadline is March 31.

Here's a purple pull-tab flier for Queer Jam House, a space for queer, BIPOC musicians to play and connect. They're taking open jam sign-ups for their next event on April 16 at Sahara Lounge. Put yer name down to create musical queer madness via the link in their Insta bio, @queer.jam.house.

Papered over several aged notices searching for lost dogs, roommates, and true love is a notice from community-run org Gender Unbound. They're putting out a volunteer call for their April 2 Trans Day of Visibility picnic and art market at Grassroots Leadership. If interested, check their Instagram bio, @genderunbound, to find the volunteer application link.
