The tenth anniversary of OUTsider takes place at The VORTEX across four days of queer transmedia, with performance art, music, and more. Festival badges are on sale now!

This year's theme, 'The Swish Up,' is a limp wrist reference to our 10 year anniversary as a welcomed opportunity to take some newfangled twists, risks some risks and otherwise glow it on up: as we move toward the next ten spins around that big bright ball.

The 'swish' of the the 'swish up' is an homage to all our unruly, and unduly demonized, 2SLGBTQIA+ ancestors--all the 'swishy' sissies and their queredo cuzins, from the baddass butches, to the fabulous femmes, and all the identifications betwixt and beyond--whose wayaward ways we intend to keep on carrying forward.

A cheeky--or should we say smiley?--nod to the past, this year's design is a grin despite all the grim.
