In an era consumed with artificial perceptions of creative thought, my storytelling hopes to bridge these spaces of struggle by reminding us how to be brave in our collective pursuit of justice and honest humanity.
Since 2001, the ArtStart Grant Program has been a catalyst for cultural activity in the local Newark arts community. The program offers mini-grants to community members, schools, non-profits and individual artists with the aim of nurturing a broad spectrum of arts and cultural activities.

CITY OF NEWARK NEWS JUNE 22, 2020 MAYOR BARAKA ANNOUNCES CREATIVE CATALYST FUND GRANTEES
“Radical Rejuvenation/ Gather in the Company of trees”
We look forward to creating sustainable, eco-art “events” in the storm of the Covid-19 pandemic. Community engagement and celebration with trees/gardens/natural habitats, support “Communal grieving... something…we cannot do by ourselves...where healing is deeply and profoundly freeing.”
This project,to be done in partnership with local growers and residents, is a first-step measure that creates a restorative forum that honors collective loss, and “mediating tools” that affirm a more sustainable future.
