Austin’s Coffee hosts Werk On It gathering to encourage queer creativity

Even though the future of Winter Park bohemian ground zero Austin’s Coffee is currently imperiled by shortsighted city planning (again), it’s still full steam ahead on the spot’s calendar of activities.

This week sees the debut of “Werk On It,” a new daytime event “centered on queer art.” The low-key gathering simply promises space and community for queer folks to work on and share what they’re current projects, or start something new. The event hosts — Anesthesia, Alice Dee and Mary — are no strangers to DIY creativity and will be helping attendees with their various projects.

All that and a daytime DJ set from Pup Rocky taking in synth-pop, disco and soul make for a rollicking afternoon.

2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 15, Austin’s Coffee, 929 W. Fairbanks Ave., Winter Park, instagram.com/queersdoingthings.orl, free.
