After engaging communities across several regions in the United States, Culture In Motion continues its national journey into the Northeast, demonstrating how local partnership, creative collaboration, and strategic philanthropy can work together to expand opportunities for artists, cultural organizations, and communities.

Few regions have shaped America's cultural, educational, and civic life as profoundly as the Northeast. Home to historic cultural institutions, leading centers of learning, and communities that have helped shape the nation's civic and creative identity, the region reflects many of the values at the heart of Culture In Motion.

Building on The Apollo's enduring legacy of championing artistic excellence and cultural expression, Culture In Motion will partner with local artists, cultural organizations, and community leaders across the Northeast. Together, these collaborations bring SUPERCHARGED® empowerment experiences, creative engagement, and Apollo programming directly into communities.

Supporting this collaborative model is a philanthropic framework designed to strengthen communities over the long term.

Serving as the inaugural initiative of the Producing Partner Program created by Kwanza Jones & José E. Feliciano (Jones•Feliciano) Initiative, a high-impact philanthropic grantmaking and investment organization co-founded by Kwanza Jones, Culture In Motion reflects a long-term commitment to expanding cultural infrastructure and access.

Through its transformational Impact Multiplier™ model, the Jones•Feliciano Initiative extends support beyond traditional grantmaking by pairing funding with strategic guidance, creative support, operational expertise, and access to a powerful ecosystem of knowledge and networks. Across the Roadshow, local artists, cultural organizations, schools, and community leaders are not simply participants—they help shape experiences, collaborations, and programming that reflect each community's unique culture and creative identity.

Together, these partnerships demonstrate a replicable model for how philanthropy, cultural institutions, and communities can work together to strengthen local cultural ecosystems and expand opportunity.

"Philanthropy should do more than fund a moment—it should help build what makes lasting impact possible," said Kwanza Jones, Founder and Executive Producer of Culture In Motion and Founder of SUPERCHARGED. "That's the idea behind the Impact Multiplier. Culture In Motion brings that philosophy to life by investing in partnerships that elevate artists, strengthen cultural institutions, and create opportunities that endure long after the Roadshow moves on."
