MARC has developed several initiatives to assure inclusion of artists of color in the mainstream of the art industry. In addition to the MARC Artists' Consortium newsletter entitled "Arts Intercom," which keeps artists of color abreast of opportunities in their field, MARC hosts the annual MARCFEST, an annual arts festival of diverse cultures which includes over 300 performance and visual artists. The Artists' Entrepreneurship Training Program provides direct training to young artists to encourage their talent and skills and market their art. And MARC also promotes "Jazz Down Under," a series of programs to introduce and educate Philadelphians on the City's great history of jazz and other music forms.
