This program will provide selected participants with: the foundational knowledge of artistic production, application of event production skills as event producers, and mentorship for participants in the creation of their own artistic or cultural event for the community.

The lab is specifically tailored to support producers in creating inclusive, impactful cultural or artistic events centered on BIPOC arts and cultural practices and communities. Participants will develop the skills necessary to succeed in the creative industry, from project management and marketing to cultural curation and community engagement. 

By the end of the program, participants will have learned the foundations of production, produced their own community-wide event, built valuable industry connections, and gained skills that will advance their careers in the arts & business sector.

Participants will attend (3) workshops and (3) conversations led by industry experts on key topics such as budgeting, marketing, project management, storytelling, and community engagement. All workshops and guest lectures will be facilitated by established BIPOC producers.

Participants will take on the role of event producers, responsible for the ideation and execution of nine monthly events for LA ASAMBLEA— “an artistic experiment by/for Sonoma County BIPOC & Queer artists + co-conspirators”.

Participants will be paired with an experienced BIPOC producer for one-on-one guidance and support throughout the program. This mentor will help navigate the challenges of production and ensure participants are well-equipped for success.

By the end of the lab, participants will have gained extensive experience in producing live events, built professional networks, and acquired a toolkit of skills that will enable them to continue their work in the creative sector. Additionally, their work will promote cross-cultural and intergenerational connections, elevate diverse voices, and activate inclusive community spaces in Sonoma County.

The Kimzin Creative BIPOC Producers Lab requires a time commitment of approximately 30 hours per month for workshops, guest lectures, and event production tasks. Participants will receive a monthly stipend of $1,500 to support their participation throughout the nine-month program ($13,500 total throughout the program).

California? It’s complicated, almost 40 million people and 40 million stories. California Documentary Project (CDP) grants support nonfiction film, audio, and digital media productions that explore California in all its complexity and tell stories from every corner of the state.

We invite applications for the 2024 round of CDP grants in support of film, audio, or digital media projects that document California subjects and issues, have the potential to bring essential California stories to audiences throughout the state and beyond, and that use the humanities to provide context, depth, and perspective. California residency is not required to apply.


We are particularly interested in supporting stories and projects from communities, regions, and individuals whose voices and perspectives have traditionally been excluded from the broader California narrative. As we center equity in the work of California Humanities, we encourage stories that focus on and highlight Indigenous and Native American experiences in California.

Funding is currently available in two categories:

Research and Development grants are designed to strengthen the humanities content and approach of documentary media productions in their earliest stages. Eligible applicants may apply for funding up to $15,000. Deadline November 4, 2024.

The CA$H Theatre Grant Program — short for Creative Assistance for the Small (Organization) and Hungry (Artist) — provides vital financial support to individual theatre artists and small theatre companies in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Read about the most recent CA$H Theatre Grant recipients, projects funded in Spring 2024.

CA$H Theatre is an entirely artist-driven granting program. Each cycle, a panel of five artists and administrators is assembled to review the applications and make all granting decisions. To become a grant panelist, check out our panelist guidelines and fill out the grant panelist registration form.

Theatre Bay Area no longer administers applications for dancers or dance projects. CA$H grants for dancers and dance projects are administered by Dancers Group. Learn about CA$H Dance Grant.

CA$H Theatre is grateful to have the generous support of the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and the Gerbode Foundation.

To hold ourselves accountable in dismantling white supremacy culture and other biases in TBA, we are collecting demographic data on grant applicants and awardees. While there's more work to do, we're proud to say that 95.5% of CA$H Theatre Grants in our 2022 fiscal year went to BIPOC theatre-makers — view the full EDI Accountability report.

UC Santa Cruz's Arts Division - Arts Student Success Project Coordinator

Ballinger | Leafblad is pleased to partner with Native Governance Center to conduct the search for an Executive Director.

The Executive Director is responsible for working with the Board of Directors to establish an organizational strategy, both for mission results and for growth and sustainability, translating the strategy into operational goals for staff, leading and developing the staff team, monitoring the organization’s finances, establishing and growing a base of funders and other revenue streams, and managing external relationships and communication. This position requires a considerable amount of travel.

Native Governance Center is a Native-led nonprofit dedicated to assisting Native nations in strengthening their governance systems and capacity to exercise sovereignty. While originally founded to support the 23 Native nations sharing geography with MN, ND, and SD, we have strategically piloted growth beyond this region and hope to continue to expand offerings with thoughtfulness toward needs identified by communities.

We opened our doors in 2016, so we are relatively young. We are constantly growing, changing, and innovating. We like to say “let’s try it!” instead of living by the “we’ve always done it that way” motto, knowing we will learn from each experience.

Everything we do is driven by our values; from organizational development to program delivery to deciding on our annual group Halloween costume, our values help to guide us. We’re collaborative in our approach, listening to input from our team, our nations, and the research we were founded on, to inform our actions and decisions. We love GIFs and memes and try to find ways to use them as often as possible. We encourage respectful candor, authenticity, and balance on our team.

In 2020, we became a fully remote workplace, with staff located in multiple Nations and states. We’ve been successful in this model because we have a dedicated team, but it doesn’t come without its challenges, because we are real 3D humans working in a 2D world. We encourage you to research the pros and cons of virtual work (with some in-person events/travel) and decide if it matches your workstyle. We also require that you have reliable, high-speed internet to be eligible for employment with NGC.

Finally, NGC is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to providing a work environment in which all individuals are treated with respect and dignity and are free from all forms of harassment and discrimination.
