With support from the California Arts Council, SILICON VALLEY CREATES, in collaboration with other county arts agencies throughout region 3, will celebrate and support California artists, and prioritize an equitable distribution of artist fellowship awards by administering a grant program that will award 63 artist fellowships across 17 diverse counties.
SVCreates provides annual grant opportunities to support small local arts organizations and individual artists, particularly focused on BIPOC/ALAANA centered work. We offer a year-round program of workshops and peer roundtables designed to strengthen networks, leadership capacity, and business skills for artists and local arts organizations. SVCreates provides customized support and coaching for a portfolio of roughly 100 small and mid-sized multi-cultural nonprofit organizations, artists, and creative professionals. We profile and amplify the voices of local artists and creatives through our Content Magazine, in quarterly print publications, weekly e-newsletters, regular podcasts and events. Additionally, we deliver a variety of programs that serve Santa Clara County’s at-risk youth and Title 1 schools.
