Supporting and Promoting the Arts at the University of Pennsylvania
As we mourn the lives lost in Atlanta last week and persistent, continued, and escalating racial violence directed at Asians, Asian Americans, and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) in the United States, The Sachs Program for Arts Innovation unequivocally condemns racism, white supremacy, and all acts of violence and hate. In response to the urgency of this moment, we are launching a new funding opportunity for AAPI artists and communities. The deadline for submission is May 1st. Applicants will be notified by May 31st.
