With CAC support, Highways will expand the programming skills of 10 emerging Latinx cultural workers in the performing and media arts fields. In FY 2022-23, experienced curators will mentor a cohort of 5 artists who will program Latinx components of a week-long performing arts Festival and a Film Festival.
Highways presents over 100 annual performances by culturally diverse dramatic soloists, small theater groups, dance companies and spoken word artists. We also curate an average of 10 annual contemporary exhibitions exploring the boundaries between the performing and visual arts and sponsor residencies that provide emerging artists access to professionally directed training in the performing arts. Our presentations and promotional campaigns financially support hundreds of culturally diverse and cutting-edge artists and nurture their artistic development. To date, Highways has presented over 1000 original works, and has produced over 2400 different arts programs that have attracted over 285,000 people.
