Storyteller Support and Advocacy 2
Artists and storytellers who happen to be immigrants face systemic barriers accessing the resources and opportunities they need to tell their stories.
We support and advocate for immigrant storytellers through community-building, art world advocacy, and our fellowship.
We’re building a mutual support network for immigrant storytellers and advocating for systemic change in artist support for immigrant creatives so that existing opportunities are open to all — regardless of immigration status. Contact us to learn more.
We partner with arts organizations and artists on resources and opportunities for immigrant creatives.
Our fellowship supports immigrant creatives in developing their practices and connecting with their local communities.
