A4 Open Call: What Can We Do? Artist Grant
What Can We Do? (WCWD), presented by the Asian American Arts Alliance (A4), is a grant program for artists creating community-care projects that engage and support Asian communities and other communities of color in NYC. The program began during the COVID pandemic as a response to rising anti-Asian hate crimes and anti-immigrant sentiment. For the 2027 edition, A4 will select up to 20 NYC-based artists as project awardees to receive $1,500 to develop and implement creative projects that engage, support, and care for AAPI and other communities of color in New York City.
Virtual information session: Tuesday, November 17, 2026, 12 – 1pm (RSVP is required)
Application deadline: Thursday, January 7, 2027, 11:59pm ET
