Mission Statement
The Story
The New Collectives, was born out of a desire to amplify diverse and queer artists in Chicago. Drag Artists, Musicians, influencers, and Entrepreneurs come together to form relationships, collaborate on their passions, and maybe stir a little drama along the way.
We’ve aired the fashion shoots, drag brunches, a few drinks thrown (because what’s reality without a little splash?). But we’re just getting started. This season, we’re expanding our reach, elevating our production quality, and deepening our cultural impact.
We’re not just showcasing queer lives; we’re celebrating them in all their complexity and joy. From bold self-expression to real conversations, this season brings the queer community to the forefront of reality entertainment, while staying rooted in authenticity, inclusivity, and love for Chicago. The glow-up is real, and the story is only getting louder.
We’re here to amplify diverse voices through bold, innovative storytelling. Our mission is to create high-quality content that doesn’t just entertain, it uplifts, represents, and builds community. Whether through unscripted reality or creative collaborations, we’re creating space for people to share their truth, launch their visions, and connect on a deeper level.
While queer culture is at our core, inclusivity drives everything we do. We welcome creatives from all walks of life and are proud to be a platform where fresh talent can rise and be seen.
At a time when trans and gay rights are under attack, sharing these stories is more urgent than ever. This isn’t just about fashion or talent, it’s about visibility, truth, and the power of telling our stories again and again until they’re heard.
Our team—producers, camera crew, and talent alike—is proudly diverse. By continuing to collaborate, listen, and uplift one another, we ensure these voices don’t just echo—but resonate.
