“Connecting Communities with Funders” is a free, 3-part series that aims to connect Bay Area-based BIPOC, culturally-based dancers and artists with grant organizations, and begin conversations around how to make the grant process more accessible.
This Grant Outreach series is brought to you by Vanessa Sanchez & La Mezcla, an independent, SF-based dance and music company that works to challenge white supremacy in the dance field. Artists of all disciplines are invited to attend!
