It encouraged the exchange of voices, cultures, and ideas relevant to each community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout two phases, Arts Midwest partnered with six communities across the Midwest. Community partners received funding to guide and develop artist residencies in their local areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-our-partners\">Our Partners<\/h2>\n\n\n<section  class=\"wp-block-cards text-dark-sky  bg-coral site-padding py-10 sm:py-22.5 relative\" data-block-index=\"0\" style=\"z-index:9;\">\n  <div class=\"main-col z-10 relative \">\n    <div class=\"mb-5 sm:pl-5\">\n              <h2 class=\" text-dark-sky text-7.5xl leading-1.3 sm:font-light sm:text-4xl sm:leading-4\/3 mb-5\">\n          Phase 1:  2019-2023\n        <\/h2>\n      \n              <div class=\"mb-5 font-serif max-w-prose text-lg leading-1.5\">\n          In the first phase of We the Many, our partners collaborated with immigrant artists and artists of color to set up artist residencies.

They later received another grant of $28,000 to continue programming after the initial residencies. \n        <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n\n          <ul class=\"list-none p-0 -mx-2.5 sm:mx-auto

decision making and resources in our community partners. These partners led all planning about the shape of their artist residencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was a new dynamic for Arts Midwest. One of our longstanding programs, <a href=\"https:\/\/artsmidwest.org\/get-support\/world-fest\/\">World Fest<\/a>, offers rural communities week-long international artist residencies. But these artists are typically selected by Arts Midwest, not community partners. Through We the Many, we were able to experiment with a new model of community-driven programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In designing this program, Arts Midwest took on the role of a &#8220;mirror,&#8221; reflecting each community&#8217;s strengths while providing support. We sought to build trust, collaboration, and creativity, and give our partners agency to achieve their goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In shifting the residency design process to our partners, we found that they felt deeply connected to and proud of their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9

Opportunities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To implement this community-driven design approach, We the Many offered a considerable amount of flexibility to our partners. It provided support and resources but did not prescribe specific residency project activities, art mediums, or themes. This approach centered trust-based partnership, and acknowledged that every community has unique strengths, needs and priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The openness generated mixed feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some participants found it challenging, expressing a preference for more structure. Others had greater capacity for program design \u2013 or came with project ideas that were already in development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many reasons for these differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Phase 1 partners joined us for piloting and experimentation. They supported Arts Midwest in shaping this program \u2013 together \u2013 and they stuck with it in the midst of COVID lockdown, testing new-to-all-of-us ways of bringing communities together over Zoom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Phase 2 partners were operating in a different time, and we were able to bring new ways of working to those partnerships. This included larger, less restricted grants; structured coaching with Voices for Racial Justice; and culturally embedded leadership as BIPOC-led organizational partners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s evident that embracing flexibility can lead to new ideas, partnerships, and programming approaches. But it\u2019s also clear that programs like this one \u2013 intentionally unstructured &#8211; require more of our partners\u2019 time and resources. We continue to explore a balance between structure and flexibility that works best for all our partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Art on the Prairie mural project\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2SHtEV_Gm2g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A short video created by Art on the Prairie about the creation of a community mural, which was a capstone to their We the Many storytelling project. The mural, painted by Des Moines artists Jimmy Navarro and Katie Jensen, depicts a prairie landscape, rolling hills and the Raccoon River Valley in a style reminiscent of stained glass. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">There\u2019s No Substitute for In-Person Connections<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the world of artist residencies, building relationships is crucial. In We the Many, this work happened on different levels: between Arts Midwest and our partners, between partners and the artists they worked with, and between those artists and each community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we were able to return to in-person gatherings and community visits, we were reminded of how valuable it is to connect in shared space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Community visits played a crucial role for Arts Midwest, offering valuable opportunities for building relationships and gaining perspective on communities and programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, partner organizations expressed a desire for even more collaboration and opportunities to meet in person than we provided in this program, especially across We the Many communities. We the Many community partners and artists were able to build connections virtually through the monthly cohort sessions, and at least one in-person gathering could have deepened the connection further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re working on building this feedback into the design of other programs, prioritizing in-person connectivity wherever possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\"

Creativity Don\u2019t Happen in Isolation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A central goal of We the Many was to integrate artist residencies into communities in a meaningful way. We found that this integration is most successful when art and creativity are already seen as inseparable from other aspects of community life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Dr. Maria Jackson, chair of the National Endowment for the Arts, emphasized in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arts.gov\/stories\/magazine\/2022\/2\/original-threads-equity-and-access-arts-hispaniclatinx-communities\/importance-artful-lives-la-importancia-de-vidas-artisticas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">American Artscape Magazine<\/a>, &#8220;The arts do not exist in a bubble, in isolation. At their most powerful, the arts are integrated into all aspects of our lives and our civic infrastructure\u2014the mechanisms and relationships we rely on to care for each other.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Program participants like <a href=\"https:\/\/artsmidwest.org\/get-support\/we-the-many\/la-luz-centro-cultural\/\">La Luz Centro Cultural<\/a> embody this philosophy. La Luz addresses food insecurity, immigration processes, and provides safe havens for children after school, in addition to community art festivals and workshops. Through We the Many, La Luz expanded opportunities to promote and celebrate the presence and importance of Latino culture in their community, as &#8220;everything leads back to culture.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our selection process, we sought to identify organizations that make creativity an integral part of community expression, healing, and empowerment. Often, these organizations don&#8217;t see themselves mainly as &#8220;arts organizations&#8221; but include arts and creativity in a broader, community-focused mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>La Luz Centro Cultural had not been on Arts Midwest\u2019s radar before We the Many. But when the understanding of what an arts organization \u201clooks like\u201d shifts, impactful shifts in resource distribution follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking ahead, we&#8217;re working to make sure our programs, grants, and guidelines are more welcoming to organizations like La Luz and more supportive of organizations working at the intersection of the arts and other community needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Art of Love (documentary)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vRfZgxJ8inM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A documentary created by For the Love of the Arts about their We the Many work. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Investment Matters &#8211; and Leads to New Opportunities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ftla\">At the core of We the Many was grants to our partners for artist residencies and operations. Organizations were invited to develop unique and tailored artist residency projects, building off their existing creative and cultural leadership in their communities. This kind of financial support offered organizations the latitude to dream big and create impactful initiatives that make a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the program, we heard from our partners that this investment allowed them to \u201clevel up\u201d in their programming, operations, and community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Organizations like <a href=\"https:\/\/artsmidwest.org\/get-support\/we-the-many\/for-the-love-of-the-arts\/\">For the Love of the Arts<\/a> experienced significant growth and development, opening two new spaces for community members to learn, grow, and thrive. The Iowa Arts Council emphasized the value of We the Many\u2019s investment in their state, saying: &#8220;The grant provided the rare opportunity for organizations to imagine and create at a scale that invited community participation and strengthened social fabric.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even beyond the program\u2019s end, partners are carrying the work forward. <a href=\"https:\/\/artsmidwest.org\/get-support\/we-the-many\/honeywell-arts-entertainment\/\">Honeywell Arts &amp; Entertainment<\/a> built a new program, Honeywell CommUNITY Arts, based off their residency work. They have been embedding artists into Manchester Community Schools. This has allowed students to explore the arts through mediums such as storytelling, creative writing, and visual art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whenever possible, we seek to reduce restrictions on our support, knowing the positive impact it has on organizations. We recognize this kind of organizational and community support is like planting seeds that will continue to flourish and bloom for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wing-container wing-top-right relative z-50 block-quote mt-24\" aria-hidden=\"true\" >\n    \n        <div \n            aria-hidden=\"true\" \n            class=\"wing absolute w-24 md:w-34 lg:w-48 h-14 md:h-20 lg:h-28 transform right-0 top-px -translate-y-full [clip-path:polygon(100%0%,100%100%,0%100%)] bg-purple\"\n        ><\/div>\n\n            <\/div>\n    \n<div  class=\"wp-block-block-quote\n  \n  collapse-m-after\n  \n  \n  bg-purple pt-16 pb-12 px-6 md:pt-24 md:pb-20 md:px-12 relative overflow-x-clip\"\n  data-block-index=\"6\" style=\"z-index:3;\"\n>\n  <blockquote class=\"max-w-3xl xl:max-w-5xl mx-auto flex flex-col\">\n    <div class=\"text-white font-sans text-lg md:text-2xl text-center mb-7 relative z-10\"><p>&#8220;I had a new student from Guatemala participate in the program this year.
