The Artists of Color Council's micro grant will center artists of color living in the greater New York City area. Artists will use the google form to apply and the AoCC will use a lottery system to select two grantees. $500 will then be awarded to each selected artist. The lottery system will ensure that the grantee is selected without bias.

The Artists of Color Council (AoCC) is a cohort of artists of color addressing cultural diversity, equity, and sustainable infrastructures in New York City’s dance communities and organizations under the auspices of Movement Research. Through inclusionary programming, curation, and advocacy, the council works to increase visibility, accessibility, and engagement with resources for movement based artists of color.
