Call for Asian American Women artists

The Asian Women Giving Circle's priority in 2008 will be to fund Asian American women-led projects that use the tools of culture, the arts and education to raise awareness and catalyze action around critical issues that impact Asian American communities. Our grants seek to build community and create social justice through programs and projects that combine the arts with activism, and which highlight and promote women's central role in their leadership, creation, development and management.  We seek to fund projects that identify and address injustice within established social systems, institutions or the broader community, and that inspire and encourage members of the community to become active social change agents. TheGiving Circle's Arts and Activism grants will focus on works and projects that advance gender equity in our cultural, artistic, intellectual and political spheres, and that provide a forum for broader discussions of the urgent social justice issues of our day.
