Los Angeles, CA. The City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) recently announced its Cultural Grants Program for non-profit organizations in Los Angeles. The grant aims to benefit those organizations planning to hold arts events, activities, and/or projects for the public between July 1, 2022 and June 20, 2023. These events are selected based on whether they uphold the DCA’s community values as they provide to or perform for the LA public.
The application process is rigorous. The DCA has four eligibility criteria for the non-profits, along with the criteria of specific categories. This year, the DCA encourages applicants to enter events for these particular categories: culture/history presentations, literature or publishing projects, media activities or presentations, design/visual art exhibitions or museum projects, or traditional/folk arts activities/presentations. The DCA has provided an educational introduction and online instructions for applicants, and actively encourage them to attend webinars or workshops that will allow to them to better prepare for the application.
