Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, ARTogether will be able to sustain and enhance its existing initiatives, ensuring that we can continue providing vital support and opportunities for historically excluded artists, cultural practitioners, and communities of first- and second-generation refugees and immigrants. Funds awarded from CAC support operational expenses such as staff salaries, rent, and utilities – enabling us to maintain the infrastructure, staffing, space, and resources necessary to deliver high-quality programming, reach a wider audience, and create a lasting impact in our 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.
