Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, ARTogether will launch the Artist Mentorship Hub, a multidisciplinary artist residency and exhibition project centered around and for first and second-generation refugee and immigrant artists. The Hub will work to foster community and collaboration, guiding participants through one-on-one mentorships, professional development workshops, and creative wellness activities. Through artist retreats, participants will explore their narratives, grounded in diasporic and anti-racist frameworks. The project will culminate in a multi-genre public exhibition and events showcasing their work, providing platforms to their stories and engaging diasporic artists more deeply with the Bay Area artistic community.
Organization Summary
ARTogether serves as a resource center for refugees and immigrants throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Our services center around three primary areas: (1) Bringing refugees, immigrants and the wider community together through art workshops and art-centered social gatherings, to foster wellness and community connection. (2) Supporting refugee artists by employing refugee art educators, and by connecting refugee artists to local art galleries and social venues that help them to find new markets for their art. (3) Bringing the arts to Bay Area schools, launching engaging arts programs that promote positive images of refugees and immigrants, while raising public awareness of refugee issues through educational campaigns.
