General Information

The Ford Amphitheatre Summer Partnership Program, running from May
through October, supports Los Angeles County resident arts organizations
by assisting them to successfully present performances in its 1,200-seat
amphitheatre. It seeks to develop new audiences for the partner arts
organizations, John Anson Ford Theatres, and the larger Los Angeles
County performing arts community. The Arts Commission provides
significant presentation support (outlined below) to participating arts
organizations which, in turn, provide the residents of Los Angeles
County with a rich cultural sampling of performing arts of the region.

Under the Ford Amphitheatre Summer Partnership Program, the Arts
Commission is interested in receiving proposals for:

• Performing Arts Performances: These are typically two-hour (or
longer) evening events that are geared for adults or families with older
children. Work may be in any performing arts discipline.

• Film Events: As the Ford is equipped with 35mm projectors and a
full size movie screen, proposals for film screening events are also
sought and will receive full consideration.

Similar to a grant program, proposals for the Ford's Summer
Partnership program are considered on a competitive basis. Those
projects accepted receive significant presentation support and
assistance toward realization of the proposed project.

Application Workshops

Ford Theatre staff will host two workshops to review the application
process, discuss eligibility and requirements of applying arts

East in Hollywood on the following dates and times:
