Cultural Development

CAN (Community Arts Network) commissioned their member/partner organization Somali Arts Foundation to do a first-ever mapping of the socially engaged arts and cultural practitioners across North Africa, East Africa, West Africa, and South Africa in an effort to reposition the arts as central to public life and to build stronger connections between artists, institutions, and communities

Applications are open through February 28 for the Kuonyesha Art Fund, which welcomes proposals from artists and groups in Africa for creative projects that promote community collaboration and address social issues.

Miami Music Project was honored with a Music Cities Award for “Best Initiative to Support Diversity & Inclusion in Music” at the Riyadh Music Cities Convention on December 8.
