El Clemente y la artista Yara Travieso presentan un taller virtual dirigido a inmigrantes y artistas de habla hispana, quienes históricamente han sido marginados, pero está abierto a todos aquellos que buscan apoyo para sus proyectos creativos a través de becas y aplicaciones de residencia. Yara destaca el papel indispensable de los artistas inmigrantes en nuestra comunidad, sirviendo como su columna vertebral y fomentando propósito y conexión en un mundo que a menudo se siente desarticulado. Por lo tanto, es imperativo crear espacios que atiendan a estas (nuestras) comunidades, brindándoles oportunidades para nutrir sus proyectos y búsquedas artísticas.
Con esto en mente, extendemos una cordial invitación a todos los artistas interesados a participar en un taller interactivo de escritura y sesión de aprendizaje dirigido por Yara. Esta sesión explorará los matices de las solicitudes de becas y residencias, ofreciendo a los participantes orientación sobre cómo articular de manera efectiva su visión artística y práctica de manera auténtica e interconectada. Los talleres se llevarán a cabo tanto en inglés como en español, con un énfasis primordial en atender a los hablantes de español.

The Clemente and artist Yara Travieso present a virtual workshop tailored to immigrant Spanish-speaking artists, who have historically been underserved but it is open to all seeking support for their creative endeavors through grants and residency applications. Yara highlights the vital role of immigrant artists in our community, serving as its backbone and fostering purpose and connection in a world that often feels disconnected. Hence, it is imperative to carve out spaces that cater to these communities, providing them with opportunities to nurture their projects and artistic pursuits.
With this in mind, we warmly invite all interested artists to participate in an interactive writing workshop and learning session led by Yara. This session will delve into the nuances of grant and residency applications, offering participants guidance on how to effectively articulate their artistic vision and practice in an authentic and interconnected manner. The workshops will be conducted in both English and Spanish, with a primary emphasis on serving Spanish speakers.
