We welcome you to join The Circle
As an open and loving place, we will let you identify if you feel the program is right for you.
We define the creative sector broadly as the arts, entertainment industry, and nonprofit sector and is inclusive but not limited to visual arts, theater, dance, film, music, and culture bearing. Interested Creatives may also define their artistry as graphic design, animation, music composition, production, songwriting, sound engineering, storytelling, museum management, costume design, lighting design, opera, fashion design, or technical direction. To learn and curate as eclectic of a group as possible with the broadest network, we welcome all Black Women creatives.
The program is being crafted for the following group of women:
- Black Girls and Women ages 18-30 interested in the creative sector
- Recent high school or college graduates
- Current college students deciding your major
- Identify as an artist or arts administrator
- Interested in exploring a career in the creative sector
- Eager to connect with other Black Women and share learning
- Desire to engage in intimate Sistah circle conversation
