A New Chapter Begins
Since 2019, Maroon Arts and Culture has engaged the community through youth programming, cultural events, and artist development. As we celebrate our 5th anniversary, we're thrilled to channel this rich experience into a focused and forward-moving journey, dedicating ourselves exclusively to the development of new Black theatre. The first step in this exciting new chapter is the creation of our legacy project, 'Sandbranch,' a testament to our commitment to innovative storytelling and cultural expression. In this endeavor and beyond, we aim to push the envelope and set new standards in the field, focusing on sustainable models that ensure the longevity and impact of Black theatre. Through these efforts, we remain dedicated to engaging and enriching our community, embracing the transformative power of art.
THE BIG PICTURE
After years of working in and around other organizations, our leadership has identified several areas of improvement for the current model of arts management and administration. Our vision is that MAROON will be the embodiment of a fully liberated and autonomous model that is rooted in legacy and forward-thinking creative expression.
OUR INITIATIVES:
Production and development of performance art that celebrates the culture, history, rituals and traditions of the Black diaspora.
Engaging audiences with the beauty of black performance through group outings, field trips and conversations.
Multi-disciplinary fundraising experiences that support of mission of cultivating original Black theatrical production, as well as education and engage the public on cultural and social issues.
Investing in the future of Black performance and Black art.
Creation of digital content for public consumption including virtual and hybrid programs, audio performances, video recordings, and digital archives.
Maroon Arts and Culture is dedicated to illuminating the richness of Black experiences through innovative theatre and performance. We cultivate and support the creation of groundbreaking Black theatrical works and empower Black artists and audiences.
Our dream is to create a sustainable ecosystem that not only celebrates but also preserves and evolves the rich legacy of Black theatrical expression.
