Announcing grantLOVE project grants!
The grantLOVE project is happy to announce six grants of $2,612.15 to California-based art projects with fiscal sponsors and arts non-profits through our foundation partner, Pledge.
In the face of the growing challenges in art funding both in the state and nationally, the grantLOVE project wants to recognize the following organizations and their missions:
LA ASAMBLEA – https://asambleacollective.com/. LA ASAMBLEA is a Sonoma County BIPOC and Queer artists collective that works to empower Sonoma County’s arts and culture workers by advancing economic opportunities, expanding educational resources, creating spaces for connection, and supporting community health and wellness. LA ASAMBLEA produces a minimum of 15 events—including monthly gatherings, quarterly professional development workshops, and two annual health and wellness fairs.
Clockshop – https://clockshop.org. Clockshop works with artists to deepen the connection between communities and public land, in order to build a shared vision of a future based in belonging and care. As a Los Angeles-based arts and culture nonprofit, Clockshop produces free public programming and commissions contemporary artist projects on public land to better connect Angelenos to the land we live on.
Feminist Center for Creative Work – https://fccwla.org/. The Feminist Center for Creative Work nurtures an ever-evolving, intersectional, intergenerational, and joyful collaborative feminist praxis—modeling ways of working and living through art, programming, media, publishing, and the redistribution of resources, from Los Angeles, within the world.
Gallo Center for the Arts – www.galloarts.org. The mission of the Gallo Center for the Arts (GCA) is to enrich the quality of life in the San Joaquin Valley by providing an inspirational civic gathering place where regional, national and international cultural activities illuminate, educate and entertain. The Gallo Center for the Arts celebrates the diversity of its community by offering an array of affordable cultural opportunities designed to appeal, and be accessible, to all.
San Francisco Arts Education Project (SFArtsED) – www.sfartsed.org. The San Francisco Arts Education Project provides children with participatory experiences in the visual and performing arts under the mentorship of practicing artists. Such collaborations empower students with creative skills that will serve them in all aspects of their lives, while offering artists new outlets for expression and opportunities to engage with the wider community.
School for the Ecocene – https://ecocene.school. The School for the Ecocene is an artist, educator, and Earthworker-run cooperative school that cultivates programs and community for planetary liberation. For the School, planetary liberation means that all beings can live in safe, sovereign, and healthy habitats.
