? Announcing GAAP Guidelines CA for the Arts announces the Guidelines for our Grassroots Artists Advocacy Program (GAAP). GAAP is a cohort-based fellowship program for artist advocates, 18 years or older, who live or work in Oakland or San Francisco. Artist Advocates include diverse artists, culture bearers, and creative workers with a dedicated and committed artistic or cultural practice who directly engage in advocacy and policy development to advance the holistic well-being of the field. Each artist advocate will identify a change they want to make happen and be supported to develop an advocacy plan to enact that change. GAAP awards a cohort of five artist advocates $12,000 each to participate in a nine-month curriculum that will launch in November 2024. The stipend is not a grant. The cohort members will dedicate 25 hours per month to attend in-person and Zoom meetings of the learning community and work on their advocacy plans. ? ?? . ? The GAAP application will open on October 1 and close on October 14, 2024, at 5:00 pm PDT. Please join us for an Informational Webinar on Friday, 10/4, at 12:00 pm PDT with Program Consultant Lead Ted Russell and CA for the Arts Director of Programs NeFesha Yisra’el. They will review the program and application process and answer questions. For any questions in the meantime please contact GAAP Program Lead Ted Russell Ted@....? GAAP is funded by The Kenneth Rainin Foundation. ?
