The BIPOC Arts Network & Fund (BANF) Awards will provide a one-time investment of up to $20,000 each to 25 artists who are members of Greater Houston’s Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian American, Pacific Islander, Middle Eastern and/or other communities of color. The award recipients engage in an eighteen-month learning cohort that will build space for dreaming and for action in order to transform our BIPOC arts ecosystem. The 2025 Awards will be the second and final round, naming 25 artists who will form a learning community starting in or about January 2025.
