During the FY25 we organized the Refugees and Immigrants Festival which brought together more than 500 community members to celebrate and highlight the talents of refugee and immigrant artists; provided year-round cultural programming and administrative support to local refugee artists to ensure fair compensation and expanded performance opportunities; delivered youth arts workshops that strengthened leadership confidence and cultural identity among refugee and immigrant youth; and collaborated with community partners to connect families with cultural educational and artistic resources. These activities directly advanced our mission by promoting inclusion fostering cultural understanding and creating opportunities for marginalized communities to thrive. Our biggest event for FY25 was the Refugees and Immigrants Festival which serves as our primary program to support refugee and immigrant artists. Through this event we connect artists to local performance opportunities that allow them to earn income share their cultural heritage and gain visibility within the broader community. The festival also plays a vital role in bringing people together to celebrate diversity promote inclusion and strengthen community bonds. Because of its size and impact this project represents nearly 70% of our annual budget and reflects our core mission of empowering marginalized communities through cultural and artistic expression.
