Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor The Asian American Foundation and the nonprofit Sundance Institute have partnered for a third year of the Sundance Institute and The Asian American Foundation Fellowship and Scholarship.

The scholarship provides Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander artists working in film and television with professional development resources and opportunities to connect with peers and mentors.

Norman Chen, CEO of TAAF said, “Authentic representation in media is about more than just visibility—it’s about creating a sense of belonging for our communities, and fostering greater safety and prosperity.

When our stories are told by us with depth and complexity, they can challenge and dismantle stereotypes, strengthen our shared identity, and contribute to a more inclusive society where everyone can thrive.” Each year, the Fellowship program provides six AANHPI artists at critical junctures in their career with a year-long fellowship that focuses on advancing their creative and technical development.
