"How can arts organizations chart a path toward greater sustainability at a time of challenge? What connections are forged when communities share their stories through art? How does a deeper understanding of American history shape our collective identity now? And what is possible when artists are empowered to dream and bring their visions to life?
These questions are at the heart of the projects and artistic practices supported by the Center’s 39 new grants, representing an investment in a thriving and diverse cultural ecology in Philadelphia."
“My work concerns itself with developing a creative model that altogether obliterates musical boundaries, expands consciousness by going inward, and facilitates emotional transcendence.”
