The Africa Contemporary Arts Consortium
The Africa Contemporary Arts Consortium is comprised of 9 diverse and dynamic U.S. arts organizations, including festivals, residency centers, performing and visual arts centers, producers and universities. Each Consortium member has made a long-term commitment-on a curatorial, institutional and personal level-to multi-dimensional and multi-directional cultural exchange with Africa. Within the collective, consortium members possess expertise in creative residencies, scholarship, producing, touring, presenting, and collaboration with African partners. Members meet in person three times a year, and the Executive Committee meets 2-3 times per year by phone. MAPP is an active member of the consortium in addition to being its General Manager.
