J & J Arts Initiative<\/h3>\n

Announcing the first J & J Arts Initiative 2021-22 project, made possible by a special endowment: Breaking Down Walls.<\/em><\/p>\n

Breaking Down Walls<\/em> consists of five grantees selected to create new works focused on \u201cThe Wall.\u201d Each will use his\/her own respective medium(s) and artistic vision to explore how art can unite. We hope these new works will both influence the present, and have important repercussions on future generations. The culmination of the work was performed live June 11, 2022 at The Cowell Theater, Fort Mason.<\/p>\n

This performance has been designated a fundraiser to help the people of Ukraine.<\/p>\n
