More good news for San Francisco Bay Area artists!

More good news for San Francisco Bay Area artists!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Two non-profits have teamed up to offer $100,000 grants to artists in the San Francisco Bay Area, providing annual stipends to benefit creators struggling with the high cost of living in the region. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Oakland-based Kenneth Rainin Foundation has partnered with the United States Artists to launch the Rainin Fellowship, which will award grants of $100,000 to four artists annually. The fellowship will select each artist based on community impact. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The inaugural winners are Margo Hall, the first female artistic director of San Francisco's Lorraine Hansberry Theater; choreographer and performer Amara Tabor-Smith; artist and activist group People's Kitchen Collective; and filmmaker Rodrigo Reyes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In addition to financial support, each artist will receive professional services, including financial planning, communications, marketing help, or legal assistance. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This support comes at a crucial time when the region is confronting a mass exodus of artists due to the city's prohibitively high cost of living and financial pressures imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
