Pride In Art changes annual festival’s name to Queer Arts Festival
And after a provincial reclassification, it’s now a professional arts festival
The Pride In Art Society (PiAS) has changed the name of its annual festival to Queer Arts Festival presented by Pride In Art.
The unopposed change was made to avoid confusion between the arts festival and the Vancouver Pride Society, said PiAS president Jeff Gibson at the Society’s Jan 21 annual general meeting (AGM).
Queertopia, the best place on earth, is the theme of this year’s festival which will take place from Jul 25 to Aug 15.
Seán Cummings, a PiAS festival director, explained the concept.
