Show notes
As arts and culture funding is increasingly labeled risky and continues to decline nationwide, the Mellon Foundation remains the largest funder of arts and humanities in the U.S., allocating $500m+ annually under the leadership of its president, Dr. Elizabeth Alexander. Feminist, mother, poet, and scholar, Dr. Alexander discusses the relationship between philanthropy and artists, the people and experiences that inform her leadership, and why she and the foundation remain unapologetically committed to inclusive arts funding across cultures, disciplines, and communities.
