The Center for Cultural Power

This grant is for legal technical assistance to help increase understanding of the current landscape as grantees engage in DEIJ-related charitable activities.

The Center for Cultural Power is dedicated to supporting artists and culture makers who engage in social movements as powerful agents for social change. Each year it provides learning opportunities to approximately 100 artists in the form of fellowships, workshops, cohort experiences, and the publishing of curricula and tools. The organization also provides financial and production resources to artists and organizational partners who work to shift narratives around issues such as migration, climate, gender, and racial justice. Support of the Center for Cultural Power aligns with the Advocacy component of the Performing Arts Program’s strategic framework.
