With support from the California Arts Council, Zoo Labs will elevate our decade of work in bridging the worlds of art and business and empowering artists to own and amplify their creations. We will continue to produce free specialized educational content for creative entrepreneurs, fund wages for artist-instructors, and fund important accessibility features like Spanish language translations of our courses. We will enact marketing and outreach strategies to increase awareness of our grant program and educational resources for BIPOC creative entrepreneurs throughout the nine counties of the Bay Area. Funding will also support staff salaries and administrative costs. This support will help us expand our educational resources and deepen their connection to the Zoo Labs FUND to support sustainable BIPOC-led artist ecosystems in the Bay Area.
