Cultivating Arts Leaders of Color: Announcing the WOCA 2022 LTM Program Application

WOCA Leadership through Mentorship Cohort Mentors being Introduced during 10th Aniversary WOCA Membership Meeting - NYC - January 2020

APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN!

About The WOCA Leadership Through Mentorship Program

The Women of Color in the Arts (WOCA) Leadership Through Mentorship Program (LTM)
 is an initiative which holistically addresses the needs of arts administrators and cultural workers of color. By holistic, we mean that we understand that "leadership development" is predicated on personal development; and acknowledging the diverse roles and identities the members of our community have and hold is tantamount to their success as leaders.* It is significant to note that the WOCA Leadership through Mentorship Program is designed for women of color,* by women of color and is the first of its kind in the field - celebrating seven (7) years in 2022. This leadership development program is aimed exclusively at supporting and empowering self-identified women** leaders of color addressing their specific needs as people with intersectional identities, and imparting tools to help navigate institutionalized systems of oppression and mitigate harms often caused by inequitable environments. 

*One of WOCA's core philosophies is centered upon the premise that all women are leaders - no matter their station, position, or title. 

**WOCA uses the term “women” to encompass all those that self-identify as women including cisgender and transgender femmes. Our intention is to uplift and address the very specific ways in which this particular group of people, and their multiple identities, are impacted by various forms of oppression including sexism and racism.  WOCA uses the term “women of color” as an organizing tool, acknowledging the expression is a political designation, not a biological one, and borne out of a solidarity movement originating from the labor of Black women.

TOPAZ ARTS celebrates its 21st Year with live performance and visual arts on October 24, 2021 - featuring Ghosts in the Desert - performances of poetry by Luis H. Francia joined by Claro de Los Reyes and Paz Tanjuaquio including her new work Dead Stars Still Dance - a new digital dance made in collaboration with artist Onome Ekeh. In the gallery, features an exhibition of new large-scale paintings by Todd B. Richmond , and a new installation piece Floored in the Covid Era, 2020: Pills & Bottles by local Queens artists Wenyon & Gamble. Join us!

Ghosts in the Desert -- Sunday, Oct 24, 2021
2 showings only at 3pm and 5pm

Admission is free, donations appreciated to support Topaz Arts' 21st Year
Limited seating: please pre-register for tickets


Please note: this is an in-person event - must pre-register in advance for admittance. Proof of vaccination will be required 
and face masks worn at all times indoors to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Thanks and stay safe!

Based on two poetry texts, The Beauty of Ghosts and The Sahara of I, by Luis H. Francia, Ghosts in the Desert explores a complex range of personal and communal experiences. Featuring the poet/playwright himself, theater artist and activist Claro de los Reyes, dancer/choreographer Paz Tanjuaquio, this multigenre event highlights the too often overlooked Filipinx centuries-long presence in conventional American narratives. Ghosts is a celebration of an indomitable spirit that continues to flourish in the face of many-layered adversity.
Join us in celebrating 21 Years!
