VANCOUVER -- The Roundhouse Community Centre might seem like a queer place to find Utopia, and it is.

For the next 2½ weeks, the centre is home to the Queer Arts Festival, a heady melange of fine art, music and theatre, affectionately dubbed Queertopia by its organizers.

"We thought we'd try to create a place where queer was the norm," says producing director Sean Cummings. "But we're not advocating one particular vision. All art is about questioning. We asked individual artists to present their view of what Queertopia would be, and we've had a lot of different takes on it."
