About Galería de la Raza
Founded in 1970, Galería de la Raza | Studio 24 is a non-profit dedicated to promoting Xicanx/Latinx art and culture. Our "creative place keeping" ethos is rooted in social inclusion and justice, where community arts are central to navigating the complex intersection of urban development, social inequality, affordable housing, and the historical-cultural legacies of communities of color. To implement our mission, the Galería supports Latinx artists in the visual, literary, media, and performing art fields whose works explore new aesthetic possibilities for socially committed art.
About the R.A.I.C.E.S. Fellowship
The initiative’s goals are to: 1) Cultivate the Latinx creative sector by providing job opportunities and 2) Support historical cultural organizations that have been at the center of social services and want to provide dedicated jobs to artists.
This is a twelve month fellowship where artists are required to develop a community informed art project within their practice that will culminate in a public presentation at the end of the fellowship. We define community informed as a listening process where artists will participate in community dialogue (e.g., community meetings, city hall advocacy and policy recommendations, actions, and protests).
Quick Project Proposal Breakdown
Overall my project will be around the start to finish process of designing and creating costumes for a production piece. During the creative process I will be curating a large scale visual arts display of the production process. There will also be community workshops along the way to engage and immerse everyone into the process with me. I have so much I can not wait to share!
Come along the journey with me as I attempt to create social media content around the journey!!
