The funding supports arts organizations of color with annual operating expenses under $500,000, enabling them to sustain and expand their practices. The grants, while funded by Wallace Foundation, are managed and delivered regionally by the New England Foundation for the Arts.
Additionally, both Teatro ECAS and PVD World Music will work together as a regional learning cohort with the New England Foundation for the Arts to address some of their self-identified organizational needs, the council said.
