How can arts & culture grantmaking engage in systems-change work that addresses root causes rather than symptoms of inequity? Grantmakers can play a role in the transformation of the sector by following the lead of BIPOC creatives who are innovating models for self-determination and community wealth.
Co-hosted by Grantmakers in the Arts and Art.Coop, Move the Money is a series of funder discussions in which presenters and movement organizers share example of projects that make tangible the principles laid out in the GIA-commissioned report, Solidarity Not Charity: Arts & Culture Grantmaking in the Solidarity Economy, by Natalia Linares & Caroline Woolard from Art.Coop. Join these briefings to learn about opportunities to enact new approaches to grantmaking and investing that shift control to communities.
