E. San San Wong, Barr Foundation program director and GIA Board of Directors alumni, wrote recently a piece on why centering racial equity is necessary for achieving Barr\u2019s Arts & Creativity program goals. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In this post she describes where the Barr Foundation is headed in its intentions to integrate racial equity more explicitly across its strategies. She also mentions the recent “Solidarity Not Charity”<\/a> report commissioned by Grantmakers in the Arts.<\/p>\n To further investigate this line of economic systems change, Barr, Hewlett and Rainin foundations supported Grantmakers in the Arts to explore how the grantmaking community can support culture-workers and artists through an increasingly just economy. Earlier this year, Grantmakers in the Arts released Solidarity Not Charity: Arts & Culture Grantmaking in the Solidarity Economy, a commissioned report and interactive website that provides an overview of the Solidarity Economy, culture-workers\u2019 role in it, and what grantmakers may do to support it through recommendations and an action checklist.<\/p>\n
