IRS990/MissionDesc0With a commitment to interdisciplinary creative practice, Active Cultures believes that nourishing empathy and fostering social justice requires building accessible platforms for shared experiences. Active Cultures works with a diverse array of cultural producers across the arts and foodways communities: interdisciplinary artists and food practitioners, at the early to mid-stages of their careers, who too often lack adequate support, be it a fitting context to develop and present their work, or to intersect with diverse publics and new collaborators in meaningful and lasting ways. Our three core programsArtist Projects, Public Programs, and Publishingwere designed for and with the needs of these communities in mind: Our Artist Projects supports artists whose work and values align with our mission, by providing them with funding, expertise, and opportunities to present performances, workshops, conversations, meals, and more, privileging long term and series-based projects not supported
