Queercircle is a charitable organisation describing itself as "working at the intersection of arts, health and social action". It aims to showcase the work of LGBTQ+ artists, and to create systemic change for LGBTQ+ people through an expansive programme that includes exhibitions, offsite commissions, discussion groups, support groups, research, residencies and mutual learning.
History Queercircle was founded by Ashley Joiner. From 2016, it first existed as a website and residency platform, but in 2021 became a registered charity and found a physical home in the Design District, Greenwich, London.
The organisation has several trustees, including artist Isaac Julian and actor Russell Tovey.
