The Black Daddies Club co- presents Sunday Dinners

The Black Daddies Club co- presents Sunday Dinners, a monthly virtual conversation with Black men from around North America, and other continents, who represent various entry points into Blackness and masculinities, to speak about their hope as Black men and about where they are currently emotionally and mentally.

Sunday Dinners is online conversation series, that is held once a month on Sundays, from 3pm to 5pm (eastern time) and will take place on the zoom platform. The idea behind the virtual series is the intersections of food, conversations, and healing. The importance of gathering as Black people for Sunday Dinners resonates with many African and Black people from across the diaspora. The purpose of the Sunday Dinner gatherings is for Black men to have cross border conversations with other Black men from various entry points to explore our similarities and differences as Black men.

Are you a young Black artist or youth organizer? Have you been thinking about applying for funding for your projects but are unsure where to start?

In this free session, Artreach will explore the basics of preparing a grant application specifically for Black artists. They will breakdown the main components of an application including the proposal, work plan and budget, which you will be able to use to implement your project. Facilitators will share tips on identifying funding resources, building relationships with funders, and writing compelling artist statements that specifically focus on articulating the Black experience through art.

This workshop is for youth 13-29 years old, and the information presented in this session will be most helpful to first time/ newer grant writers.

Facilitators: Paulina O’Kieffe and Adom Acheampong

This workshop is in collaboration with Nia Centre for the Arts. Wed, December 9, 2020, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM EST.

Zoom LIVE or NAH?

This evening, Monday, July 13 at 6:00pm EST, PIECE OF MINE Arts hosts a ZOOM reading of The Negroes Are Congregating in honour of raising tuition funds for our friend/colleague Troy De Four @musicalt4, who begins grad school at NYU this September for Musical Theatre Writing. Let us lift our prayer hands up...and then circle them down into our pockets to help our brother out with this lifetime opportunity/dream. Graduate school ain't cheap, especially as an international student.
