mission

VSSL is a container for contemporary, queer, interdisciplinary visual art practice(s). We believe in the boundless potential of art - akin to the potentials of queerness - striving to ensure that the transformative powers of art are accessible to all within our diverse communities.

As a queer, disabled, artist-led, and not-for-profit gallery/studio - we provide a welcoming space to gather, create, collaborate and develop, for queer people and their extended communities.

We are dedicated to nurturing contemporary, queer, interdisciplinary art and its’ practitioners - further elevating members of our communities and the artworks they produce.

Our mission is simple: we create space and share resources - to enable queer people to make art that reflects queer experience - transforming our communities and the world(s) we live in through this process.
