The OUT/LOUD Queer Women’s Music Festival is an electrifying show that celebrates the growth of the LGBTQA community. The ASUO Women’s Center held their 11th annual OUT/LOUD Queer Women’s Music Festival on June 9th at Kesey Square in Downtown Eugene. The festival is the largest of its kind in the Pacific Northwest, featuring well known musicians and spoken word artists. This year, The ASUO Women’s Center will host this renowned Eugene event at 12:00 pm on June 9th, 2012. Originally named Lesbopalooza, OUT/LOUD started as a small event 12 years ago, but has since grown to be an annual festival that is well known among the Eugene/Portland area. OUT/LOUD is an all-ages student-run festival, featuring queer women’s music, artists and performers. The planning committee takes conscious measures in fund raising and recruitment to ensure that artists and performances reflect the intersecting identities, talents, and genres within queer women’s music.
In honor of this mission, OUT/LOUD brings a diverse and exciting lineup. This lineup includes performances by: Nina Sky, Andrea Gibson, Tender Forever, Krudas Cubensi, Siche Green-Mitchel, Nikole Potulsy, Csea Leonard, and the UO Queer Glee Club. If you missed it on Saturday, be sure to check it out next year!
