With support from the California Arts Council, SVCreates will strengthen the capacity of over 100 small, multi-cultural arts organizations, raise the visibility of local artists, and provide access to the arts for high need populations, through grant-making, programs, and initiatives intended to increase equity and inclusion in our arts ecosystem.
SVCreates provides annual grant opportunities to support small local arts organizations and individual artists, particularly focused on BIPOC/ALAANA centered work. We offer a year-round program of workshops and peer roundtables designed to strengthen networks, leadership capacity, and business skills for artists and local arts organizations. SVCreates provides customized support and coaching for a portfolio of roughly 100 small and mid-sized multi-cultural nonprofit organizations, artists, and creative professionals. We profile and amplify the voices of local artists and creatives through our Content Magazine, in quarterly print publications, weekly e-newsletters, regular podcasts and events. Additionally, we deliver a variety of programs that serve Santa Clara County’s at-risk youth and Title 1 schools.
