The Center for Cultural Power

The Center for Cultural Power is a nonprofit that activates and mobilizes artists to envision a world where cultural, economic, and political power are distributed equitably, and all human beings can live in harmony with nature. The center builds the leadership of artists as shapers of culture, accelerates narrative change through cultural storytelling, and builds greater capacity for cultural strategies.

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.
