Beloved Community Project
This groundbreaking initiative is aimed at elevating BIPOC performing artists and organizations by providing crucial support: dedicated performance and rehearsal spaces, access to designers and technicians, mentorship, and comprehensive marketing and technical resources.
The Beloved Community Project is an effort to empower marginalized voices, rectify historical imbalances, and foster a more inclusive cultural landscape through collaborative partnerships.
The Greatlist
Is there a more dignified way to make the arts accessible to those facing financial constraints than traditional methods?
Prima’s Greatlist offers a solution that transcends traditional pay-what-you-can models. Instead of segregating economically disadvantaged individuals into separate, inconvenient performances, The Greatlist provides subsidized tickets to regular public shows through a simple texting service. Because creative inspiration should be accessible to everyone.
