Happy #BlackHistoryMonth! As we celebrate Black History Month, this year we will be highlighting 4 foundations/organizations that are working to support black art and artists.
The first organization we will highlight is the IABD International Association of Blacks in Dance. This organization hosts a yearly conference and festival where black creators come together to discuss the needs of the black dance community, and celebrate the art of dance. They also uplift black artists and administrators in dance throughout the year by offering programs such as; Arts Administration program, The Cohesive Organizational Health Initiative, The Equity Project: Increasing the Presence of Blacks In Ballet, Evolve: A Dance Summit, and so many more!
IABD’s mission is to preserve and promote dance by people of African ancestry or origin, and assist and increase opportunities for artists in advocacy, audience development, education, funding, networking, performance, philosophical dialogue, and touring.
"The International Association of Blacks in Dance (IABD) has become the Mecca for Blacks in Dance such as administrators, artists, choreographers, dance companies, dance-related personnel, directors, educators, scholars, students, teachers, and those interested in artistry, black dance issues and performance presentations. The Association provides a network, formal newsletters, choreographers directory, published papers and is the raison d’être for the Annual Conference and Festival. The Association also responds to and initiates dialogue around issues that impact the Black Dance Community as well as the Dance community at large. IABD has developed national prominence and allowed the Black dance community to come together on issues important to them."
We welcome you to visit their website, and learn about all of the resources and programs they have to offer! This organization has a rich history rooted in the quest for equality, and we hope they inspire you to support your artists and communities of color around you! www.iabdassociation.org...
