Description
The Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation’s Arts and Culture Program invests in strengthening arts and culture nonprofits in Washtenaw County through a racial equity lens. It supports new and existing community-based projects serving communities through arts and culture. The program’s goal is to activate the artistic and cultural identity of all people in the county and ensure a fundamental level of access to arts and culture for everyone.
Priorities include community-driven arts programs that serve and collaborate with Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) communities, as well as organizations with BIPOC leadership. The program also emphasizes equitable arts education, arts entrepreneurship for economic development, digital capacity to reach BIPOC communities, and vocational arts training for marginalized communities.
