Details:
The Art Angels serves Pocomtuc, Norwottuck, and Nipmuc territories, also known as the Connecticut River Valley of Massachusetts. As artists and art-lovers, they acknowledge the power art has in influencing culture while also replicating systems of oppression that have historically silenced and promoted violence against Native people, and other marginalized people. Therefore, they support, uplift, and celebrate the art of Black, Indigenous, People of Color, and all people committed to making art that challenges, transforms & heals our world.
This year, the grants will be awarded by a group of local BIPOC artists, while the financial resources will be collected by a group of anonymous artists and art-lovers.
