Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Foglifter Press will produce the 2025-26 Start a Riot! Chapbook Prize for San Francisco Bay Area 2SLGBTQIA+ BIPOC (QTBIPOC) literary artists, including a $4,000 prize, publication, promotion, and a free, accessible public release event. Designed in response to the displacement and erasure of QTBIPOC+ writers in the Bay Area, this artist-led program uplifts historically excluded voices, supports community connection, and advances equity in the literary arts. CAC funds will support artist pay, ASL interpretation, venue and event production, and promotion.
