We believe that media is a powerful tool in promoting diversity and inclusion throughout all walks of life.

International Arts & Philanthropy Foundation is proud to spotlight television producer Ryan Murphy, his mission with the Half Foundation, and his groundbreaking new series – POSE on FX.

Ryan Murphy is the visionary Executive Producer behind the hit shows Glee, American Crime Story, American Horror Story, Nip/Tuck, Feud, and the extraordinary new series Pose, a dance musical about ball culture in 1980s New York City, that Ryan hopes is the beginning of a change in Hollywood.

POSE

Ahead of the June 3 premiere of Pose, Ryan Murphy announced he will donate 100% of his profits from the show to trans and LGBTQ charities across the U.S. The series features the largest cast of transgender actors in regular roles in TV history, as well as the largest recurring cast of LGBTQ actors ever for a scripted series.
