Sipp Culture, Jackson-Hinds Comprehensive Health Center, and Community Advisory Group officially launched HOMEGROWN UTICA to celebrate the rich legacy of rural self-determination and artistic voice in the Utica community.
The Rural Performance / Production Lab (RPPL) is a creative production process and residency program which supports the development of new art rooted in rural living, history, places, and bodies. RPPL artists receive either direct funding or an on-site residency. Awards range from $2500 – $15,000.
Sipp Culture is part of One Nation One Project’s campaign to support artists and leaders across 18 cities as they create art projects aspiring to create healthier communities. The “Homegrown Utica Fest” is coming July 27, 2024!
Joining Wallace’s multiyear arts initiative launched in 2021, Sipp Culture will to explore how artists can serve as, and also support, community health workers to enhance the health and wellness of the rural Black community of Utica.
How can we build healthier communities – as people, as artists, as friends, as a country? Call for Public Art Engagements in Utica, MS, due November 15th at midnight.
Meet the 11 artists for 2023/24 who will be supported through the Rurual Performance Production Lab (RPPL). Artists in Residence, Visiting Artists, and a Next Up Artist will all develop their work through the program.
In April 2023, RPPL Artist Brian Egland premiered his new play as part of the We Will Dream New Works Festival at the André Calloux Center for Performing Arts and Cultural Justice in New Orleans.
