Get your flame on: April 27 queer arts festival benefits LGBTQ youth

More than 30 local performers and artists will perform at Tracks on April 27 for Flame 2014, a Colorado queer music and art festival to raise funds for local charities.

The brainchild of Lokusdor Productions’ founder Brent Heinze, this event celebrates the diversity of queer musicians, artists, performers, and vendors in Colorado. It will feature live music, DJs, artists, designers, stylists, performances, health information, food, vendors and dancing from noon to 9 p.m.

The charity fundraiser benefits homeless and LGBTQ youth organizations including Urban Peak, Rainbow Alley, the Gender Identity Center, Inside Out Youth Services in Colorado Springs, and Denver PIQUE. Performers — who offered their performances for free to allow more of the event’s revenue to go to the benefitting charities — include The Tah Tahs, Princess, DJ Markie, Werk Out Palace, and Penny From Heaven.

The last three charity events produced by Lokusdor Productions — two Exile Fetish Balls and Code 13 — raised a combined $19,000 for charities. Can’t attend the event? You can still donate online at
