Mellon Foundation supports community-engaged artmaking research to advance racial equity in Gainesville
Gainesville community members and University of Florida College of the Arts faculty in the UF Center for Arts, Migration, and Entrepreneurship and the UF Center for Arts in Medicine are collaborating on a three-year project that engages artmaking as a platform for reconciliation.
The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation awarded the University of Florida a $750,000 Humanities in Place grant to collaborate with Gainesville’s historically Black neighborhoods in researching their own questions and celebrating their stories through the arts.
