Art, song, and story manifest our activism, dance is our primary assertion of spirit and identity, and the creation of art is an enormously important part of both our economy and our traditions. Our lifeways and our art ways do not separate. We make the work of Native artists nationally and internationally visible, to shift the global view of how Native people are seen—to demonstrate that Native artists are contemporary, groundbreaking artists bringing critical Indigenous worldviews to all fields of the arts. RSD furthers artistic and professional growth for Native and BIPOC artists, which in turn provides income, education, visibility, artistic autonomy, and hope for individual artists. Anti-Oppression, Equity, and Inclusion are foundational We believe that the liberation of all peoples starts with the healing of oppression and trauma caused by the intersectional, historical, and current oppression of Native, Indigenous, Black, and People of Color in this country. We acknowledge that all human beings and all species in relationship with human beings need to be free. The work of Rosy Simas Danse specifically seeks to simultaneously work against all named and unnamed forms of systemic oppression such as white supremacy, patriarchy, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, ableism, and gender-bias while advancing an inclusive, abundant, holistic ecosystem, working against capitalist notions of scarcity and value. An ecosystem that will support and allow the Native and BIPOC of the dance community in this country to thrive. We aim to be equitable in all our programming through not only our own commissioning, programming, and paying of artists and community, but by actively advocating and fighting for equality for Native, Indigenous, Black, and People of Color in the broader arts field. History Rosy Simas Dance (RSD) was founded in 2012 in response to a need to support Native performing art that connects artists and audiences. Our artistic work and programming are built through authentic relationships with the Native, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ communities locally and on tour.

| Global Arts Management Fellowship | DeVos Institute of Arts Management at the University of Maryland | Washington, DC | The DeVos Institute invites applications for its Global Arts Management Fellowship – a three-year, cohort-based intensive for arts and cultural executives. The program is provided free of charge through a competitive application process. The fellowship serves entrepreneurial executives who are prepared to look critically at their work, challenge assumptions, and develop rigorous strategies to address the most pressing challenges facing their organizations, regions, or arts forms at large. The program supports leaders in management positions in developing, implementing, and refining organizational strategies over a three-year engagement. Individuals typically engage in the Fellowship at point of inflection in their career, where an infusion of strategic training, mentorship, peer learning, and reflection is necessary to advance both their work in the organization and their role as a leader in their field. On average, Fellows bring 10-20 years of experience to reflect upon. Fellows attend a four-week residency in Washington, D.C. in July for three consecutive years and engage in mentoring and activities between residencies. The Institute invites applications for the 2023 - 2025 cohort. Interested candidates are asked to submit a brief LOI between November 14 and December 9, 2022. http://devosinstitute.umd.edu/fellowship | Visit: https://umdsurvey.umd.edu/jfe/form/SV_3PmB3DJQxYNxyEC | December 9, 2022 |
