About the California Arts Council Administrators of Color Fellowship Program
The California Arts Council Administrators of Color Fellowship program was initiated by the California Arts Council with the goal of uplifting an inclusive workforce and supporting the vibrancy of organizations that create and preserve the cultural identities of all California communities. The pilot program is made possible by a grant from the James Irvine Foundation and one-time increased state arts funding.
The Arts Council designated SOAC, a cultural institution in East San Jose, as the statewide Administering Organization at a public meeting in September 2019. SOAC, in partnership with SVCreates, will administer the program for two years ending in 2021.
Nashormeh Lindo, California Arts Council Chair stated, "The California Arts Council is committed to strengthening opportunities for people of color in arts and cultural spaces throughout our diverse state. SOAC brings a cultural awareness to the program that is essential to developing authentic and fruitful opportunities for host organizations and fellows. We remain grateful to The James Irvine Foundation for their funding partnership that's made this essential pilot possible."
