Overview
The Creative County Initiative ALAANA Artist Grant, offered by the Essex County Community Foundation, supports ALAANA artists in creating new or developing works across various artistic mediums. This initiative addresses the historical exclusion of these artists from resources, fostering inclusivity and diversity in the arts. By empowering African, Latine, Asian, Arab, and Native American artists, ECCF aims to enhance the cultural landscape of Essex County while promoting equity and collaboration within the community.
ECCF’s Creative County Initiative (CCI) is expanding inclusivity by offering grants to support new or in-progress works in any artistic medium by ALAANA (African, Latine, Asian, Arab, Native American) artists.
