Our Team

Queer Start was created by Scarlett & Michelle in the spirit of attracting and guiding queer, indie artists through a capitalistic society. From there, we've been tailoring and practicing our craft as artists while doing all of the things in the background required to deal with the chaos of the human condition.

We wanted an excuse to make art and encourage others to do the same by putting each artist through an online residency for stonerqueer.com. Our artists then mentor the next artist for a full circle experience in business and marketing, interpersonal communication, community building and creation.
