2026 Art Meets Activism Grant | (Disputanta): $9,100 for a multi-disciplinary Interdependence spectacle that includes a large-scale public parade and concert, a series of seasonal art-making salons and week-long summer art camps for creatives, mothers and children to develop a multi-year community story play. The Interdependence Project offers an inclusive, creative complement to conventional “independence” celebrations in July. The project includes opportunities to engage in seasonal evolutions of a community story throughout the year and a learning laboratory to practice and publicly model joyful, liberatory alternatives to dominant culture in our communities.
