The recent wildfires in Los Angeles have devastate

The recent wildfires in Los Angeles have devastated countless members of our arts community, destroying homes, studios, and livelihoods. In response, a coalition of leading arts organizations, philanthropists, and foundations—led by the J. Paul Getty Trust—has launched the LA Arts Community Fire Relief Fund, an emergency initiative with $12 million in initial funding and more on the way.

We’re sharing this critical initiative to ensure that artists and arts workers across all disciplines who have been affected can access the help they need. Administered by the Center for Cultural Innovation, this fund offers immediate grants.

Applications open Monday, January 20. Link in bio to learn more and apply. 🔗
