It is with deep gratitude and appreciation that we announce Mestra Marcia has been selected as a California Arts Council Legacy Artist Fellow for 2023/2024! She is one of 48 artists and culture bearers to have been selected and one of only 9 who were honored in the Legacy Artists category.
The California Arts Council created the Individual Artists Fellowship (IAF) program to celebrate and acknowledge the excellence of California artists and culture bearers at critical points in their careers.
The IAF initiative provides unrestricted financial support to help artists advance their artistic endeavors, thereby increasing their potential for making further contributions to the state.
Many thanks to Youth Speaks for administering this grant program and to the CAC for supporting California’s emerging, established, and legacy artists and culture bearers.
Parabéns Mestra! A well-deserved honor.
