White Snakes Project has received a Mellon Grant worth $750,000.

The three-year grant aims “to support visionary artists in their desire to combine a long-enduring art form and experimental technologies into contemporary narratives on behalf of a broadly diverse public.”

Per an official statement, the company will use the funding to build strong administrative leadership, increase its music staff, amplify its connection with social justice partners, and continue to innovate technologically.

“It’s hard to put into words what this grant means to us. It goes without saying that it’s transformative, but what does that really mean? It means we can hire our first employees, ever; have our first season, ever; pay collaborators fair fees; give our artists more resources; reach deeper into our communities; pursue work which will not generate financial returns, but which is so necessary and vital to us as human beings living in the complex interstices of the current world,” said Cerise Jacobs, the company’s founder. “Yes, this grant is transformative. But the most important thing to say is thank you, Mellon Foundation.”

The company’s recent projects include the “Pandemic Trilogy” as well as the “Sing Out Strong” series.
