FOUNDERS

Rachelle Wilson, Nick Jackson, and Edwina Clay knew the arts had power—and they wanted everyone to feel it. After teaming up at a local arts nonprofit, the trio saw just how much creative spaces could uplift a community. Inspired to do more, they launched a foundation dedicated to making the arts more accessible and inclusive—helping Southern California’s stages reflect the diversity and brilliance of the people who call it home.
