The grants are available until Sept. 1 or until the rst 600 applicants have been approved. The citywide COVID-19 Emergency Response Program for Individual Artists, administered by the Department of Cultural Aairs, is the rst COVID- 19 relief fund specically for individual artists. ADVERTISEMENT “Local artists and arts nonprots are the creative heart of Los Angeles,” Councilman David Ryu said. “The work of writers, musicians, painters and all artists help make Los Angeles the vibrant and dynamic city we love.” To qualify, artists must demonstrate nancial need and detrimental eects caused by COVID-19, such as an inability to pay rent or bills. Funds are available to artists of all kinds, including DJs, writers, visual artists and more, Ryu said. Artists can apply for the grants at culturela.org/grants-and- calls/citywide-covid-19-emergency-response- program-for-individual-artists/ . The $340,000 fund was created after Ryu introduced a motion seeking to repurpose his council district’s Arts Development Fee fund, money that comes to each council district from commercial developments that can be used to support arts projects, facilities and arts education programs that are free or low-cost and accessible to the public. Councilmen Gil Cedillo, Bob Blumeneld, Paul Koretz, Marqueece Harris- Dawson, Herb Wesson and Joe Buscaino added their Arts Development Fee fund dollars as well.

  • A VIRTUAL CABARET EVENT in Support Of
    A VIRTUAL CABARET BENEFITING THE NATIONAL BREAST CANCER COALITION FUND FROM THE HOSTS OF AND THE NEWGala YORK Sunday, December 6, 2020 5 p.m. PT / 8 p.m. ET A LETTER FROM FRAN Dear Friends, Welcome to our first-everVirtual Cabaret Event and an evening of talented performances and tantalizing fun, all for a great cause. This year marks the 20th Anniversary of our Les Girls Cabaret and the 25th Anniversary of our NY Gala, and these two special events have sustained the National Breast Cancer Coalition (NBCC), year after year. When the pandemic hit, I began to wonder if either event would happen. But we found a way. Thanks to the extraordinary efforts of our Event Committee, the encouragement of our sponsors, the personal commitment of our hosts and performers, and the imagination of our production team, we are able to combine both events and once again offer a one-of-a-kind, fantastic evening. We are forever grateful to all of them. Since 1991, NBCC has been at the vanguard of the breast cancer movement, elevating breast cancer to an issue of national significance. NBCC brought about a federal research program that has awarded over $3.75 billion in research grants. We empower women and men, through education and training, to become a unified voice to save lives. And through our Artemis Project®, we lead a collaboration of exceptional scientists and dedicated advocates who focus on research to prevent women and men from getting breast cancer in the first place and stop it from metastasizing and taking lives.
