CULTURAL COMMITTEE
Each edition of the Gay Games includes a cultural program. The host of any edition of the Gay Games must include in their cultural program Performing Arts of music, dance, and theatre; Visual Arts of 2 and 3 dimensional art, film/video, and crafts; and Humanities expressed in literature, historical, and academic projects.
To work specifically on the elements of the Cultural Festival, the Board formed the Cultural Committee in 1993. The Committee's work has been to identify the censorship and oppression that block artistic and cultural expression, examine the production of successful arts/cultural events, identify guidelines to guarantee inclusion, and explore nontraditional ways to present art and culture.
Join us on the Federation as we work, through art/cultural activities and noncompetitive sports, to support the self-respect of lesbian and gay people around the world and engender respect and understanding from the nongay world.
Participate in the Gay Games! Accept Dr. Tom Waddell's encouragement!
To join the Sub-Committee, please email a Committee Co-Chair.
If you are interested in the activities of this Sub-Committee we encourage you to e-mail the Co-Chairs directly, or visit the web sites of any of the Federation's Assembly Organizations.
