With support from the California Arts Council, Highways Performance Space will present innovative performance and visual artists, promote interaction among people of diverse cultural backgrounds, and engage artists and the communities they serve in cross-cultural dialogues about social, cultural and artistic issues. Highways presents compelling performing, media and visual arts programs that explore social justice, broaden public understanding of equity and diversity, and engage artists in critical dialogues with underrepresented communities of color and the LGBTQIA+ community. Funding will be used for salaries and health insurance for full-time staff positions including Executive Director, Artistic Director and Technical Director to ensure continuity of programs.
