ABOUT THE EQUITY IN THE ARTS GRANT PROGRAM:
ArtsBuild with support from the Benwood Foundation, has created a new Equity in the Arts grant program to support projects led by local Black and Latino artists. Grants up to $10,000 were awarded to eight individual artists and organizations. The goals for the new grant program are to help build the careers of local Black and Latino artists; increase sustainability of cultural organizations that focus on Black and Latino arts; build community awareness of Black and Latino arts within Hamilton County; and to support collaborations between Black and Latino artists and other arts organizations within the community.
