Yesterday, the Kenneth Rainin Foundation announced the award of over $580,000 to 33 small and mid-sized arts organizations through their New and Experimental Works (NEW) Program. “Funded projects explore urgent issues our country is grappling with, such as African American male identity, the mental health and well-being of Asian and Asian American communities, the formation of queer identity, and homelessness.”
Two of the awarded projects, Vanessa Sanchez’s Ghostly Labor and Kat Evasco’s Be Like Water, will be developed at Brava next year. You can read about these projects and all those that were funded, here. Congratulations to all of the artists and organizations on their awards!
