What Can We Do? Information Session

What Can We Do? (WCWD), presented by the Asian American Arts Alliance (A4), is a grant program for artists creating community-care projects that engage and support Asian communities and other communities of color in NYC.

Executive Director, Lisa Gold, and 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.

Each artist will receive $1,500 to create and carry out ideas to benefit AAPI communities in Chinatown, Manhattan (District 1); and/or Flushing, Queens (District 20); and/or support Palestinian creators and their communities; and/or strengthen AAPI and cross-cultural solidarities.

The project engagements must be completed within a four-month period (February 2–June 5, 2026).
