With support from the California Arts Council, DAVIS SHAKESPEARE ENSEMBLE INC will fund staff salaries and space rental for The Mochi Project. Through DSF’s program, Vacancy Arts Collective (VAC), The Mochi Project will explore Japanese-American cultural experiences in order to provide joy and healing to combat white supremacy culture.
Our core program is VACANCY ARTS COLLECTIVE. Vacancy Arts Collective’s mission is to cultivate community joy by aligning socially conscious art with equitable practice.
The focus of the project is on process and “people first” practices. VAC produces works that align with the identities of the artists and team members involved with each production, thereby expanding the types of artistic projects produced by DSF.
