AMP's picture

Guidelines and applications for the 2011-2012 Cultural Exchange
International (CEI) Grants are now available on the City of LA
Department of Cultural Affairs website
(culturela.org/grants/initiatives.html). DCA is accepting applications
for international residency programs starting in April 2011 and ending
no later than June 30, 2012.
CEI provides fellowship support to creative professionals (artists, arts
administrators, arts/cultural educators and scholars, curators,
presenters, creative entrepreneurs, cultural innovators, and cultural
experts) traveling abroad for intensive residencies (two weeks to three
months); or creative professionals coming to Los Angeles for intensive
residencies (two weeks to three months) who have planned collaborative
relationships with Los Angeles organizations to host their residencies.
The program has been designed to support individual professionals or
small groups (limit three to four people). While CEI is not intended to
support large touring groups or stand alone exhibitions, a proposal for
a CEI residency may supplement a larger project, an extended tour, or a
stand alone exhibition.
DCA will hold an informational workshop on Monday November 8, from 5:30
to 7:00 p.m. at the Department of Cultural Affairs headquarters at 201
North Figueroa Street, Suite 1400, in downtown Los Angeles for groups of
ten or more individuals. You must RSVP to sherlan.abesamis@lacity.org
at least one week in advance in order to attend. We will e-mail you
four days before the meeting with confirmation or cancellation.
The CEI postmark deadline is Friday, December 3. General questions
about the application or program can be sent to joe.smoke@lacity.org.
