Art Bridges Foundation

Art Bridges Foundation recently announced an open call for venues interested in "Crafting Sanctuaries: Black Spaces of the Great Depression South," a new traveling exhibition that explores how Black Southerners transformed private dwellings and public gathering places into havens of expression and refuge during the Great Depression.

"Crafting Sanctuaries" will be available beginning in Spring 2025 for a loan period of six months at each borrowing institution. The exhibition is open to a wide variety of arts and cultural organizations in the United States -- providing a unique opportunity for libraries, schools, community centers, and other nontraditional spaces to share these significant works with their local community.

"Crafting Sanctuaries highlights the resilience and creativity of Black communities during one of America's most challenging periods, and we are eager to support organizations that wish to share these powerful stories with their community.
