Overview
The Multicultural Arts Leadership Institute (MALI) is a program of the School of Arts and Culture at Mexican Heritage Plaza in San Jose. The program, now in its seventh year, is designed to identify and train future and emerging arts leaders of color in Silicon Valley, and equip them to successfully participate in community forums, initiatives, and taskforces, both to address specific community issues, and as advocates for a strong and healthy multicultural arts community. The MALI program, which includes seminars, site visits, an annual forum, and a mini-grant program, is building a network of arts leaders among its graduates. A renewal grant would continue to build on that cohort, adding new students and creating opportunities for collaboration and community impact.
