The Center for Art, Research and Alliances (CARA) is an emergent arts nonprofit, research center, and publisher that aims to expand public discourses and historical records to reflect art’s abundant pasts, presents, and futures. CARA was born over a five-year research period and developed in conversation with cultural workers aspiring to create just futures through the arts. CARA’s formal launch builds upon a two-year publishing program with a schedule of new initiatives including research fellowships, exhibitions, and public programs that seek to challenge dominant narratives and reflect the abundance of arts and culture.
