Sala Diaz’s latest milestone arrived this week in the form of a generous grant from the Milwaukee-based nonprofit Ruth Foundation for the Arts . Totaling somewhere between $50,000 and $100,000, the grant is part of Ruth Arts’ Sites & Stewardship initiative, which will divide $1.5 million between 15 nonprofit arts organizations.
“Our Sites & Stewardship program nurtures the ever-evolving relationships between artmaking and place and the indelible imprint artists make on our cultural landscape,” Ruth Arts Executive Director Karen Patterson said in a press release. “To build this new program, we met with artists, architects, curators, scholars and site stewards whose practices intersect with all facets of the built environment.
“The focus is really on artist communities,” Fontenot said. “And I think that’s actually how they found Sala — because of its long history of being an artist-run space. [We operate on] a shoestring budget. It’s a community coming together to make things happen.”"[We operate on] a shoestring budget," Sala Diaz Interim Director Heyd Fontenot said."It’s a community coming together to make things happen.
