Have you been working at the intersection of art and social change for the past five years or more? Thinking of applying to the Leeway Transformation Award this year? Are you curious about the application process?

Join us for a special grant information session for Leeway Transformation Award applicants at the Leeway office on Monday, April 13 from 5:30pm to 7:00pm.

The Leeway Transformation Award  provides unrestricted annual awards of $15,000 to women and trans* artists and cultural workers living in the Delaware Valley region who create art for social change and have done so for the past five years or more, demonstrating a long-term commitment to social change work. The deadline for Stage 1 is May 15 (Stage 2 is by invitation only).

Hear from past recipients as they discuss their experience with the application process and how the award impacted their careers: DJ and cultural worker Chaska Sofia (LTA ’13, ACG ’11), performer and literary artist Ezra Berkley Nepon (LTA ’14, ACG ’07), dancer and choreographer Kariamu Welsh (LTA ’14, ACG ’12), and poet and activist Lovella Calica (ACG ’13, LTA ’09, ACG ’07, ’06).

Staff will also be available to answer general questions about the application process. We hope you can join us!
