ECAP facilitates the production of Multi-Ethnic and Multicultural arts events through the utilization of a competitive funding/grant request procedure. Endeavors that involve audiences across disciplines, age, class, and include a range of race and ethnic orientations are preferred.

Definitions

“Arts” is defined as any project that features performances or exhibitions that include but are not limited to music, literature, dance, theatre, folk and traditional arts, design arts, media arts, and visual arts and crafts. “Ethnic” may be generally defined as such underrepresented United States groups as African Americans, Latino Americans, Native Americans, and Asian Americans, as well as international groups as defined by language, customs, or social views. “Ethnic Arts,” then, consists of performances or exhibitions as listed above that directly address the identities and concerns of one or more of these groups.
