PROJECTS

We run a number of projects in collaboration with local groups and members of our communities, and we spotlight the work of LGBTQ+ artists and collectives in Greater Manchester year-round.

OUR HISTORY

Launched in 2015, Superbia is designed to curate, fund, support and promote LGBTQ+ events and initiatives throughout Greater Manchester.

We curate original Superbia events for LGBTQ+ people

Through collaboration with partners, venues, groups, curators, community members, artists and creatives, we deliver a programme of year-round LGBTQ+ events. We aim to keep our events free of charge, diverse, accessible and welcoming.

We Fund LGTBQ+ events with Superbia Queer Arts Grants

If you need funding to stage an event or initiative, you can apply for financial support. Each application is judged on its own merit by an independent Grants Panel. Find out about the events we support and how to apply for a Grant below.

Superbia offers free promotion and marketing to events and projects by, for and about LGBTQ+ people in Greater Manchester. You can easily submit your LGBTQ+ event to us for promotion by filling out a simple form.

We support existing LGBTQ+ events in Greater Manchester.
