How the Light Gets In: Narrative Power Building through the Arts
by Nayantara Sen
Artist-serving organizations and arts philanthropy have a clear and integral role to play in supporting artists, especially BIPOC and artists from historically marginalized communities, in growing their narrative power. This [series is] for arts funders interested in exploring the “why, what, and how” of arts-integrated narrative strategies. The featured stories and projects also offer instructive entry points to this question: “So what does operationalizing narrative strategies within arts organizations and building narrative power for BIPOC artists look like in practice?”
