Nonprofit Q26 Holds Online Concert to Benefit Queer Students of Color

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Nonprofit Q26, which supports LGBTQ+ creatives in the fields of fashion, film, and music, is holding a concert Friday, November 20, 2020, at 7:00 PM PST via Zoom to benefit queer students of color. Artists to perform includes Mainetain, Figgy Baby, and DJ Jai Syncere. Artist Miya King will host the concert.

The money raised from the online event will be added to Q26's Fall 2020 student scholarships fundraiser to help queer academics and artists of color. By creating this fundraiser, Q26 hopes that it gives these students and graduates a little space to work on their goals and well-being while pursuing their careers.

Q26 is holding the concert in conjunction with the third issue of the nonprofit's triannual magazine, QTYPE. The issue features interviews from artists such as Figgy Baby, Sterling Victorian, DJ Jai Syncere, Winzday Love, Mainetain, and Miya King, among others. Each level of the organization's membership includes a print subscription to the publication along with inclusion in the monthly newsletter and discounts and access to workshops. Funds raised from the memberships will be directed towards programs that include the Publisher's Club, Filmmaker's Club, For the Future: Book Club, and Wellness Retreat.
