If you’ve been waiting for a sign to put your art out into the world, this might be it. Every month, Outlast Arts Education puts together a love letter to creativity in the form of a curated list of grants, workshops, and contests made especially for Black and Native artists. From screenwriting to poetry, filmmaking to nonfiction, it’s a growing space where BIPOC voices are seen, celebrated, and supported. Think of it as your monthly reminder that your art deserves room to breathe and be funded.
Here are a few of the latest opportunities worth checking out:

A one-of-a-kind residency for artists making work that challenges, inspires, and redefines culture.
Your words deserve a stage. Submit your poems for a chance to be published by one of the most respected indie presses.

This one’s for the truth-tellers. Share your personal essays and nonfiction pieces for a chance to be recognized by HerStry.
