How a new fund for Black artists in Sacramento is changing the lives of local creatives
Sacramento Bee 2/9/2021 Marcus D. Smith, The Sacramento Bee
Feb. 8 Black artists in the Sacramento region are being celebrated and praised for their work, thanks to the Black Artists Fund and their seasonal awards.
The Black Artists Fund is an advisory board of eight Black women looking to invest in art creatives around the Sacramento region. The purpose is to raise funding for Black artists so they can afford to expand their creative minds and prolong their art careers.
So far, the Black Artists Fund has raised over $42,000 thanks to donations on their GoFundMe page, which will go toward their Summer 2021 grantees. This is the highest amount they ve raised since starting last year.

Two players were in 8th grade.
Brittanny Johnson could coach at Evanston for another 20 years and not see more new faces from one season to the next.

Complicating matters further, the ETHS coach only has a 5-week season to work with, beginning on Saturday when the Wildkits host Vernon Hills in the 4 p.m. contest of a boys-girls varsity doubleheader.
Administrators in the Central Suburban League have put in place a doubleheader schedule consisting almost entirely of only league opponents, with the boys and girls alternating which varsity teams will play first. Only 50 spectators will be allowed in the stands, although ETHS fans can view all home games streaming on the National Federation of High Schools online network.
