Working Class BIPOC at CCA Fundraiser
Donation protected
MISSION STATEMENT:
Creativity Takes Courage. Courage Takes Community: Students in Solidarity with their Working Class, BIPOC Classmates.
On behalf of the 24 Frames Animation Club, the Black Brilliance Club, the Students of Color Coalition, Student Council, CCA Student Union, we ask for your donations to support our working-class and BIPOC classmates.
We have teamed up to catalyze the change necessary to make our school viable for all of its students. The astronomical cost of living in the Bay Area combined with an annual tuition of over $50,000 make it nearly insurmountable for many to attend, let alone thrive, at CCA. 'CCA's student body is 14% Asian American, 13% Hispanic/Latinx, and 4% African American' —an unacceptable disconnect between higher education and the BIPOC artist community in the Bay Area.
During this time of COVID and a global Black Lives Matter Civil Rights movement, these students are particularly vulnerable. With your help, we can remove some of the hurdles they face in meeting their living expenses and buying art supplies.
All proceeds will go toward unrestricted grants to working-class and BIPOC students to meet their most pressing needs to remain in school. Our goal is to provide a grant to every qualified student that applies.
The arts have always been closely intertwined with social change and are vital for community engagement through sharing information, envisioning a peaceful and just society, and most importantly, humanizing voices and fears that are often unheard.
Creativity takes courage and courage takes community. Be part of the community that uplifts the BIPOC community in the most visibly vibrant way possible and support our effort! Thank you!
We are now fiscally sponsored by SOMArts based in San Francisco. "SOMArts leverages the power of art as a tool for social change through multi-disciplinary events and exhibitions. Equipping artists with the space, mentorship and support they need to shift perspectives and innovate solutions, SOMArts fosters access to arts and culture for collective liberation and self-determination".
