Artists-In-Residence at Brava
Brava! for Women in the Arts fosters the artistic expression of women, people of color, LGBTQIA, and other underrepresented artists. Through its residency program, Brava supports the professional development and creative work of directors, actors, dancers, musicians, visual artists, and designers, providing space for creation, assistance with grant writing and fiscal sponsorship, and the support of Brava's marketing and technical staff. In return, these artists continue to generate excellent art, mentor youth in Brava’s education programs, and contribute to the artistic life of the 24th Street corridor in San Francisco.
