The Gender Affirming Spaces Project (GASP!) is a new volunteer-run group in Peterborough that creates spaces for transgender, non-binary, two spirit, and gender nonconforming people to meet one another and build community.

The Trans Art Market invites all members of the Peterborough area community to join GASP! In celebrating the creative work of trans and gender diverse people. The market will feature 16 artists and performers who identify as transgender, non-binary, two spirit, and/or gender nonconforming. Artists will be selling their work, and attendees are encouraged to bring cash for purchases and donations. In addition, we will be displaying a collection of poster art created for Transgender Day of Remembrance.
