Fulcrum Arts

Public Matters, a fiscally sponsored project of Fulcrum Arts, works at the intersection of art and civic engagement. It uses artistic practices to help transform communities by creatively confronting complex issues, such as traffic safety and cultural invisibility. This organizational effectiveness grant supports internal capacity building to deepen the organization’s awareness, knowledge, skill, policies and practices around equity, inclusion and diversity. Helping individual grantee organizations develop their internal competencies for equity-focused work will in turn support the nonprofit arts field in the Bay Area to coalesce around common language and best practices for equity in the arts.
