This is the inaugural year of the Black Immersive Creators Grant, an initiative focused on amplifying Black voices in the immersive community, encouraging US-based Black artists to live out their dreams by creating immersive works, and affecting culture in a way that opens minds as well as inspires future creators to do the same for generations to come.
Cash award is $10,000, with all of the funds going directly to the grant recipient. The awardee will also receive support in the form of mentoring, administrative support, PR, and other resources via the grant’s board and its network.
