Relationship Between Established and Emerging Cultural Arts Organizations

Creative Justice Initiative (CJI) based in NYC/Puerto Rico has been noting the shifts between Eurocentric established cultural arts organizations and emerging community-based organizations. As we note greater interest in the Caribbean by foundations we also see a shift in established organizations expanding and including artists and themes previously not explored.

Our Conversation centers on discussing what determines the aesthetic value of our cultural production and the impact it has on Achieving Cultural and Racial Equity!

As we navigate our new realities and the relationships between emerging and established organizations we ask ourselves the following questions:

What is the relationship between established and emerging community cultural organizations?

What are the partnerships?

Is there a fundamental difference in the roles of these institutions?

What institutions are valued?

How does funding determine value?
