ABOUT
Whippoorwill Arts is an arts production and performance company founded by Jim Nunally and Nell Robinson. We love music, respect artists, and seek to nurture creative expression through live and filmed music and arts productions. We are committed to advancing social and racial justice by hiring and collaborating with Black, POC, LGBTQIA musicians, artists, and other professionals. We have raised funds to help fuel our activism, ideas, and partnerships, and have gotten tremendous joy from recommending grants and resources for the organizations and artists we believe in. This is a time for showing up, standing up, stepping into the fray, being clear and public about our values. We are integrating the many parts of our creative lives, from our own songwriting, performances and productions, to our philanthropy, activism and community-building projects.
MISSION
Whippoorwill Arts is on a mission to provide opportunities for roots musicians and artists to thrive and nurture their creativity with a focus on collaboration, fair wages, equity, and social justice.
