Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Teatro Nagual will create an equitable, multilingual regranting program to distribute $240,000 in unrestricted fellowship awards to emerging, established, and legacy artists in Region 2. Drawing on our experience managing the Sacramento Artists Corps and leading the Capital Region Creative Corps—where, as a City of Sacramento employee, I administered $3.75 million in support of 208 artists and 25 organizations—we will implement a culturally responsive selection process centered on artistic excellence, equity, and social impact. CAC funds will support outreach, technical assistance, adjudication, and artist convenings, while amplifying the visibility of awardees. Our approach prioritizes trust, transparency, and cultural competency to ensure historically underserved artists across the region access vital support to sustain and elevate their work.
Organization Summary
Founded in 2006, our core values have expanded into three pillars of core programs and services.
Pillar 1 – Creating quality bi-lingual theatrical programming.
Pillar 2 – Creating mobile social justice theatrical experiences in alignment with cross sector partners and communities focusing on key issues including but not limited to, immigration, civic engagement, environmental justice, and health and well-being.
Pillar 3 – Creating and fostering and empowering the next generation of Latinx arts educators.
We organize artists of all disciplines and all demographics to understand their collective power in advocacy efforts ensuring sustainability of the creative economy.
