The CRE2 Arts & Culture Community Grants will support individuals and organizations in the St. Louis metro area engaged in creative practice that forefronts race and/or ethnicity. Our goal is to provide direct support for proposals in the humanities, arts, and design that engage the lived realities of the St. Louis Metro region.   St. Louis is associated with racial tension and inequity.  In the minds of outsiders and St. Louisans alike, the city is defined by “The Divide”—disparities, deficits, and discrimination. These divides and disparities are deep and long-standing, and CRE2 shares an ambition with the region’s stakeholders and Washington University to disrupt and ameliorate them.    However, we often miss the ways that race and ethnicity are assets for St. Louis, seen perhaps most clearly and richly in the arts and St. Louis’s cultural institutions.  This is true equally of the creatives that have made a home in St. Louis as visual artists, writers, musicians, designers, and dancers; and “micro” institutions that serve many cultures and ethnicities; and the region’s legacy cultural institutions.    Of course, these contrasting stories – of racial conflict and cultural vibrancy – also collide in St. Louis and our region and are reflected in enduring challenges like perpetual neglect of minority-serving arts and culture institutions, selective cultural heritage preservation, and representations of race and ethnicity – including erasure – on the memorial landscape.  The CRE2 Arts & Culture Community Grants hope to help address these and other issues by serving as a collaborative space for race and/or ethnicity and the arts and culture in St. Louis.   The goals of the CRE2 Arts & Culture Community Grants are to:    Incubate new creative work, community initiatives and, where relevant, related research at the intersection of race and/or ethnicity and arts and culture.   Galvanize and amplify efforts to use arts and culture initiatives as a driver for interracial and interethnic community and racial and/or ethnic equity, including heritage preservation and reparative commemorative projects.  The CRE2 Arts & Culture Community Grant aims to continue and build on the work foregrounded by the Divided City Initiative with the generous support of the Mellon Foundation. This special opportunity is presented in partnership with The Center for the Humanities & The Office for Socially Engaged Practice.  2023-2024 Arts & Culture Community Grant Awardees Damon Davis, Ligeia Mare Ligeia Mare is a sci-fi electronic fantasy opera written and composed by Damon Davis.
