In the past 4 years, we have awarded 21 students with over $175,500 in summer funding. These students have held impactful positions at large arts companies and community-based arts organizations supporting arts at the intersection of social justice.
In Memory of Lyric McHenry
This program is named and funded in honor of Lyric McHenry (Stanford ‘14). In honor of Lyric’s passion for the arts and social justice, the Lyric McHenry Community Arts Fellowship gives students the opportunity to spend a summer working full time in the areas of curating, presenting, outreach and/or arts education with a focus on racial/social justice issues.
Meet the Fellows
We are excited to introduce the 2024 cohort of the Lyric McHenry Community Arts Fellowship!
Lyric’s appreciation for the effect of the arts in the fight for social justice propelled her dedication to writing and producing. Her unique talent for uplifting others showed itself in an infectious ability to support and empower those around her, speak up for what she believed in, and create art that shed light on racial inequity and identity.
