PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Our programs bridge the gaps between cultural organizers, artists, and social change movements through the following four strategies.

POLITICAL EDUCATION FOR ARTISTS

We support and sustain a vibrant movement for liberatory change by investing in the leadership development and training of artist-activists and cultural workers. 

CULTURE & POLICY SHIFT

We aim to shift the material conditions that artists and cultural organizers are currently working within by using policy as a tool. We do this by advocating for policy changes that improve and expand access and resources for cultural organizers.

NETWORK WEAVING

We connect artists and cultural organizers to each other, and to movement organizations. Our programs create clear pathways for cultural organizers to connect, convene, and collaborate with each other and with movement organizations.

PLAY & PERFORMANCE

In the absence of a "real" federal department of Arts and Culture, we are “performing” the state, supporting the communities and work we'd want to see that agency support. We catalyze possibilities for new worlds, new systems, and new rituals through this play and performance.
