We’re thrilled to announce that we are a Walking Together grantee! This program, led by Mid Atlantic Arts and the U.S. Regional Arts Organizations (RAOs) provides significant nonmatching grants to traditional artists, practitioners, nonprofits, local and Tribal governments, community organizations, and individuals that demonstrate a deep commitment to sustaining folklife rooted in communities of color. We will continue to educate through cultural arts, partner with other organizations to create impact, and build a brighter future for the communities in need rooted in diasporic arts.

Join us along the journey to see our impact and what we have in store for our community and beyond!
