Over the past five months, the fellowship—a collaboration with the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA)—has supported a cohort of 12 artists and cultural entrepreneurs in exploring new models of social innovation through their artistic practices. Individuals received coaching, training, technical assistance, and additional funding while critiquing and supporting each other to build their individual and collective capacity for transformative change and abundance. to learn more.
