Our work is steeped in racial equity and as an organization, Dunamis does everything we can to support and create space for creatives of color. Our work extends into the following ongoing programming:

Emerging Artists Fellowship – The Emerging Artists Fellowship provides nurturing support and professional development education for emerging artists of color in the city of Boston. Learn more here.

 

Arts Management Apprenticeship – The Arts Management Apprenticeship was designed to support, train and nurture emerging arts managers of color based in Boston. This is a paid opportunity for people of color to build tangible work experience and establish professional connections to move their careers forward.  Learn more here. 

 

House Sessions – The YAMS House Sessions were created and currently produced by an emerging artists fellowship alum, who wanted to create a safe space for emerging artists to develop their sets and find an initial audience. Learn more here.

 

JP Porchfest- Since 2014 Jamaica Plain Porchfest has built community – across the divides of race, class, culture and immigrant status – through the power of the arts. Originally founded by Mindy Fried and Marie Ghitman, Dunamis began Porchfest in August 2021. Learn more here.

 

Seeds of Joy – Our Seeds of Joy programming was designed in response to the Covid19 pandemic and provided paid opportunities for local artists to create and lead virtual interactive programs.
