Eleven Philadelphia’s Cultural Treasures fellowships totaling $1,185,000 have been awarded to Black, Latino, Asian, and Indigenous Philadelphia artists and cultural workers. The unrestricted grants recognize remarkably talented artists who make a meaningful difference in Philadelphia’s cultural landscape, using the arts to preserve cultural heritage, shine a light on important community stories, and support other local creatives.
