What is Anaphora?

Anaphora Arts is an organization that advocates for writers and artists of color.

What kinds of programs do you offer?

We offer different programs, including residencies, retreats, workshops, conferences, masterclasses, professional development programs, and more.

Who can attend Anaphora’s programs?

Anyone can attend Anaphora’s program; there is no pre-requisite to apply or attend. However, the writing residency is reserved for writers of color.

How do you determine programming?

Programs are designed in consultation with our rotating advisory board, with Anaphora fellows, and with our community at large. Every couple of years we also dispatch a climate survey to better understand the needs of our community, and continue to build extended infrastructures to support them in their creative practice.
