Stiles African American Heritage Center
SAAHC Receives a Walking Together Grant!
The Stiles African American Heritage Center is honored to have been awarded a Walking Together grant! Join us during the Winter Seed Swap on the 24th to celebrate this accomplishment (see details below).
Walking Together aims to facilitate a robust regional and national support network for traditional arts, support collaborative documentation and marketing services, and address historic precarity and disinvestment in folk arts and culture that communities of color face. Organizations and individuals deeply engaged in sustaining their community’s traditions receive unrestricted grants through Walking Together, with the aim of supporting their existing work and bolstering community traditions and knowledge into the future.
Walking Together allows us to carry on the vision and legacy of Grace Stiles, who 30 years ago founded the Stiles African American Heritage Center as a cultural pillar of the historically Black neighborhood of Five Points in Denver. We are excited to grow ways we may weave community in the garden and around community tea tables, where we share food prepared with love, stitch together histories as part of quilting circles, inspire each other by honoring the accomplishments of community members, and delve into social contexts through hosting book clubs and signings.
