Emerging Leaders of Color application deadline approaches

Sept. 15 deadline announced by South Arts

Heads up, South Carolina arts leaders of color.

South Carolina is a partner on the southern pilot of this program, and we’re doing our part to make sure the first cohort is a strong one. (You might remember we talked it up once or twice this spring. Don’t worry; there’s no quiz.)

To promote representative leadership and equity in the arts, a small cohort of cultural workers and arts administrators located in seven states in the southern region will be selected for this partnership program between South Arts and our colleague regional arts organization WESTAF (Western States Arts Federation). Building on the success of WESTAF’s ELC program, which has been attracting, training, networking and promoting a new generation of diverse arts leaders since 2010; the South Arts program will serve to advance southern vitality through the arts through leadership development.

If that piques your interest, or might for somebody you know, full program information, including guidelines and eligibility are found here: https://www.southarts.org/programs-conferences/emerging-leaders-color.
