Workshop for Undocumented Artists in Northern California

It started as a conversation in the bar at the GIA Conference in Philadelphia…

The East Bay Community Foundation (EBCF), the Center for Cultural Innovation (CCI) and CultureStrike came together to present the first Business of Art entrepreneurial training workshops solely for undocumented artists on April 18 & 19 in Oakland, California. CultureStrike is an Oakland-based grassroots network of artists and activists working on issues of immigration and social change. The goal of the workshop was to create a formal opportunity for undocumented artist to access business knowledge resulting in greater individual visibility and empowerment that will help to advance their careers.

EBCF, CCI and CultureStrike plan to continue this collaborative effort to advance artistic equity and inclusion in communities of color.
