#Juneteenth you have an opportunity to support one of the most underrepresented, yet painfully necessary factors to every event known in the history of events and parties…. #theblackwoman … @triatriaxdjeuts @sedthesaint Will be on decks @parlorden, for what I’m calling #ladieslovesaturdays And why? She shows up. Wether she’s giving T&A or slaying with her brilliant mind. She may be prepping, cooking and cleaning. She may be hosting or cutting the checks. She maybe shooting the event or doing the graphic design. She maybe making cocktails and or serving guests… But she MAY not end up being represented on dj line ups regardless to HOW many of SHE’S who dj there are… It’s what makes what I / WE do, with intention and specificity important and valuable, always in ALL WAYS. Thanks to @thecollectivestudiospace for reminding me! 💫💕 And what does the last pic have to do with this, you better know WHO I’m always gunning for … US ✊🏾💃🏽 : : #atlanta #femaledjs #ladydjs #equalopportunity #she #her #women #girls #womeninentertainment #parlordenmusic #findingfathomdj #fathomdjcurates #musicdirector #atldjs #chicagodj (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQQuNztN7aD/?utm_medium=tumblr

Announcing | NYC Women’s Fund for Media, Music and Theatre Recipients

The Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment (MOME) Awarded a Combined $2 Million in Funding to 94 Projects.

NYC Media and Entertainment Commissioner Anne del Castillo announced today that the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment (MOME) awarded the second round of NYC Women’s Fund for Media, Music and Theatre to 94 music, theatre, film, and digital media projects led by artists who identify as women or coming from a female perspective. These grants total $2 million and are designed to help artists complete their projects. This year, MOME added $500,000 to support music projects. 

The NYC Women’s Fund is a $5.5 million three-year program that is administered by NYFA. The groundbreaking initiative is intended to address the underrepresentation of women in film, music, digital media, and theatre, and New York is the first city in the country to provide direct grants to women working in these industries. During the Fund’s first round, MOME awarded a total of $1.5 million to 63 film, digital, and theatre projects, up to $50,000 per project.

With the addition of music to the list of eligible categories, MOME is further increasing its efforts to target gender inequity in male-dominated industries. One recent report from the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative found that from 2013-2019, just 10% of GRAMMY nominees were women, and from 2012-2018 only 22% of artists, 12% of songwriters, and 2% of producers of 700 popular songs from the "Hot 100" year-end Billboard Charts were female.

“Women are more than half of the population, but they are still woefully underrepresented in music, theatre, film, and digital media industries,” said del Castillo. “We are proud to have increased the number of awardees by 50%, as we take gender equity head on by helping female-identified artists get their projects over the finish line.”

“Last year, only 20% of all directors, writers, producers, executive producers, editors, and cinematographers working on the top 100 grossing films were women,” said Deputy Mayor Housing and Economic Development Vicki Been. “New York City is the media capital of the world, and we have a responsibility to address inequality not only in the film industry, but also in music, theatre and digital media. Congratulations to this year’s grant recipients, I cannot wait for their works to debut.” 

MOME awarded grants to projects in the following categories:

20 Popular Music - each received up to $20,000

15 Classical/Jazz/Experimental - each received up to $20,000

16 Theatre Productions - each received up to $50,000

8 Documentary Features - each received up to $50,000

4 Fiction Features - each received up to $50,000

9 Fiction Shorts - each received up to $25,000

8 Documentary Shorts - each received up to $25,000

7 Fiction Webisode/Webseries - each received up to $20,000

7 Documentary Webisodes/Webseries - each received up to $20,000

The projects selected cover a broad range of topics including: a bilingual album that features women’s voices in the Mexican and American folk genres; an EP that combines Afrobeat, jazz fusion, and Afro House music with lyrics that address female empowerment; a theatre production about an Iranian-American women’s anti-war dinner party that goes off track; a documentary webseries that follows the lives of five people through the world of dance; a fiction short about two Puerto Rican women from the Bronx who go on a dangerous Las Vegas adventure; and a fiction feature film about family, survival, and sexual assault.

“We’re thrilled to one again partner with the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment on the NYC Women’s Fund for Media, Music and Theatre, and are honored to help support projects that reflect the voices and perspectives of all who identify as women as the administrator of this important fund,” said Michael L. Royce, Executive Director, NYFA. “We’re especially excited that music recordings or videos are being recognized this year, which increases the fund’s depth and the impact into new creative spaces,” he added.

In total, 1,357 applications were evaluated by a panel of 48 industry experts including: Betsy Morais, Managing Editor, Columbia Journalism Review; Lana Lin, Associate Professor, Film Theory and Digital Cinema, The New School; Viktoria I.V. King, director, writer, and actress; Easmanie Michel, director, writer, and curator, Immigrant Festival NYWIFT; Lucy Mukerjee, Senior Programmer, Tribeca Enterprises; Efe Kabba, director, producer, writer, editor; Suzette Porte, Manager, Plan Services, Society of Stage Directors and Choreographers; Miya Masaoka, Director, Sound Art Program, Columbia University; Suzzy Roche, singer/songwriter; and Jennifer Justice, music and live entertainment executive.

The full list of awards and panelists can be found here and a complete listing of the guidelines for the grants can be found here.

“New York City needs to be a place where diverse creatives can thrive. But if you’re in the arts, you know that the hardest part is finding enough money to get your projects off the ground,” said Faye Penn, Executive Director of women.nyc, an initiative at New York City Economic Development Corporation that helps women succeed in their businesses and careers. “It’s exciting to see so many female-identified creators who are finally able to share their songs, movies, plays, and web series. We hope that the world will be seeing a lot more of these artists and leaders.”

Funding for this program is provided by the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment (MOME).
