WE ARE THE ARCHIVES | MAKE ART! ARTIST AWARDS + FUNDRAISER CEREMONY 2025

Join us in celebrating and sustaining Black and Brown artists at THE 2nd ANNUAL MAKE ART! ARTIST AWARDS & FUNDRAISER on June 21st. This year’s theme, "WE ARE THE ARCHIVES," honors the power of storytelling, memory-keeping, and creative expression in our communities. This year, we are honoring two MAKE ART! Artist Award recipients, along with one Community Artist Award recipient.
