The Better Together event series celebrates and supports the careers of BIPOC makers by hosting events that feature Black and Brown artists, performers, and
entrepreneurs
.
Through hosting events, CTF’s Better Together is able to provide a platform for businesses in our network to gain exposure while simultaneously connecting seemingly disparate communities. We also provide and connect people with professional opportunities like grants, internships, and teaching gigs to help makers of color plant their roots and grow their personal networks.
