The Multicultural Arts Initiative (MCAI) is a funding
and advocacy organization that supports, strengthens,
and celebrates culturally diverse arts programming
with an emphasis on African American programs. MCAI
ensures a more inclusive arts environment and the growth
and viability of culturally diverse artistic quality,
as a way of transforming the region.
The MCAI grantmaking objective is to enhance the cultural
landscape of the region by funding consistently high
quality African American and African-influenced arts
programming, as well as targeted culturally specific
arts programming to include Latin, Asian and Native
American. This expanded landscape will reflect
a region, which integrates these art forms into the
cultural fabric of its communities and heightens the
cultural conscience of its citizens.
You are invited to become a part of the family of
artists and organizations that strive to stimulate
and energize our communities with engaging, accessible
artistic offerings. It is important to note that
eligible arts and community-based organizations must
demonstrate a commitment to cultural diversity as an
organizational value through board and staff composition,
programming and marketing.
We are very excited about the artistic program possibilities
that will emerge from this process. If you have
any questions regarding the RFP Application Guidelines
or the process, please call Demeatria Gibson Boccella,
Program Associate at (412) 394-4275 or email dgibson@mcai-pittsburgh.org.
Sincerely,
Oliver W. Byrd, Chair
Multicultural Arts Initiative
