About The Center for Cultural Power 

Artists transform the world by creating powerful art - stories, images and songs. The Center for Cultural Power exists to create a thriving ecosystem for artists and culture makers to shift world view from one of domination to one of collaboration.

A women of color, artist-led organization, we inspire artists and culture makers to imagine a world where power is distributed equitably and we live in harmony with nature. The Center for Cultural Power is creating a thriving ecosystem for artists and culture makers who are dismantling systems of oppression and are dedicated to transformational creative practices. We build artist power through fellowships, trainings, and activations. We create intersectional stories and content addressing issues of migration, climate and gender justice. We engage groups in cultural strategy and are co-creating a field of cultural strategy with organizations and practitioners through convenings, design teams, and strategy tables.

Our staff and board align around the following organizational values:

• We commit to a Culture of Learning & Growth.
