What Can We Do? Information Session

What Can We Do? (WCWD?), presented by the Asian American Arts Alliance (A4), is a micro-grant opportunity for artists looking to support the AAPI community in NYC with engaging, creative projects rooted in care. Honoring the power of art as healing, WCWD? invites artists with a desire to affect change in their communities to carry out a project within a three-month period (March 1-May 15, 2023).

A4’s Programs Director, Justine Lee, will present a pre-submission information session via Zoom to discuss the opportunity and review the guidelines and best practices for applying. We’ll also have time for Q&A. The session will be recorded and uploaded to our YouTube channel.

For WCWD?, 30 NYC-based artists will be selected as project awardees by a random draw. They will each receive $500 to create and carry out ideas to engage, aid, and care for the Asian American New Yorker community with a focus on Chinatown, Manhattan and Flushing, Queens. The application deadline is February 20, 2023 at 11:59 pm EST.
