Arts and Culture

“The function of art is to do more than tell it like it is—it’s to imagine what is possible.” ― bell hooks

Art matters. When individuals and communities have the chance to express themselves creatively and hear the stories of others, our society becomes stronger, more compassionate, and better connected.

We support programs at nonprofit theaters and other cultural organizations that bring new and diverse voices to the forefront and democratize access to the arts.

  • Playwright residencies, partnerships, and other resources for the theater community in New York City
  • Arts programs in prisons and other nontraditional settings, such as community centers
  • Multimedia storytelling initiatives that change hearts and minds
