"Arts Council’s Arts Admins of Color grant was a gift that we couldn’t be more thankful for. This specific grant was a seed sown for #ThaTeam Podcast to travel to Atlanta, GA for the Black Podcast Festival in 2022. This opportunity helped us to elevate our craft, network with other podcasters across the country and enjoy what we love to do.
It also allowed us to be able to take one of our podcast students with us on this journey so they can truly see where podcasting can take them in the long run. From this specific grant to the REACH grant, the Arts Council has made our shift from podcasters to youth educators/mentors what it is today and we couldn’t be more thankful."

Aaron Rogers The Breed Academy
"As an emerging Arts Administrator who is developing a new non profit organization, I am looking to grow in a number of different ways. I really want to learn more about the steps it takes to be successful at Executive leadership, Donor Cultivation, and Board Development. Because my non profit organization will be focused on
engaging young people from underrepresented communities throughout the city of New Haven in Music & Media production programs, I also would like to use the funding to invest in training for myself around arts education, community outreach and marketing."
