GRANT OPPORTUNITY: Artist Power Convenings Grant for Sonoma County Artists

Yuerba Buena Center for the Arts (YBCA) will soon be accepting proposals from within Solano County and Sonoma County for the Artist Power Convenings, a new community investment strategy to build the capacity of artists and artist-led organizations in service of their communities.

With the Artist Power Convenings, YBCA wants to support artists getting together, virtually or in-person, to imagine, create, and lift up each other across our region. As the first initiative of its kind at YBCA, the program will continue to evolve in order to better serve Bay Area artists and artist-led organizations.

Who should apply?

Artists and artist-led organizations seeking opportunities to fuel their ability to host a convening (or series of convenings!) that brings artists and their communities together to connect and share knowledge, ideas, inspiration, and resources.
