The Artist of Color Accelerate Program, a project of The 224 EcoSpace (a social enterprise of The Conference of Churches). Artists of Color Accelerate is an extension of our mission to create and elevate community spaces for arts and culture. Made possible by a generous grant from the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving’s ‘Artists of Color Unite!’ advisory group, Artists of Color Accelerate partners ten artists-who serve as fellows with ten organizations that will host them to develop artistic ventures of community significance.

For more information about the program, fellows and host organizations, please visit us at theaoca.org.
