Artist Programs
The Jacob Burns Film Center developed Creative Culture, our roster of artist programs, with a mission to champion diverse voices and foster a thriving community of artists from our local region, across the United States, and around the world. With generous support from our funders, Creative Culture provides accessible, inclusive, and impactful fellowship and residency opportunities for filmmakers.
