EAT YOUR ART OUT is a Queer-powered camp which aims to be FLINTA led wherever possible.
AT EYAO we celebrate the full spectrum of diversity within the LGBTQIA+ community at Nowhere.
We are a creative, minge loving, twerk-tastic, gender bending, power ballad bashing Camp of camps.
​
Consent, social justice and inclusion are at the core of our space.
Come build a queer utopia, delight people in our veggie/vegan kitchen, perform at the Queerberet and in our party... the possibilities are endless!

Our Ethos
We communicate in an open, clear simple way. We don't judge. We approach every situation with an open mind. We come from a place of belief. When people share experiences, we will support and believe them. We know that everyone's personal boundaries are in different places.
We never assume. We accept that others’ lives and histories outside the space may be different to our own. We stay mindful of how much space we take up (both bodies and voices) and of how we act or speak might be affecting other people around us. Let’s be ready to own how we act and how we speak. This is accountability. When challenged, each of us should be ready to take on board other’s points of view, be responsible for our actions, and ready to make amends in the ways are asked of us.
We are committed to creating a camp based on accountabilty and transformative justice to mediate harms or misunderstandings.
What we provide
If our ethos aligns with yours, here are the basic things you'll get
Shelter
Lots of shade, sofas and a squish to hang out, siesta, or chat. Shade for your tent. Did I mention we have shade?
Water
Two gorgeous water cubes for all your hydration needs. And a great camp shower, of course.
Food
Glorious vegetarian food, snacks, and a brunch buffet, playa style. We consider dietary requirements and your grandmother's recipes a priority.
