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

We were founded in 2006 when we opened the very successful musical, “Let the Eagle Fly,” about the life of Cesar Chavez. Besides doing full-length plays, we organize bi-lingual theatre classes for youth and for adults. We are frequently commissioned by other organizations to write and perform plays concerning environmental and social justice concerns. Additionally, we hold Cabarets at the Sofia, Home of B Street Theatre and regular mixers for all Sacramento artists every other month at the ReUnion Underground in Old Sacramento.
