AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Guidelines and applications for the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) 2014-2015 Individual Artist Grants are now available on the DCA website http://culturela.org/ DCA offers grants to individual artists for community residencies and artist fellowships.

Artist In Residence Program
The Residency Program supports artists in providing community-based, participatory projects in self-selected non-arts venues throughout the City of Los Angeles in order to gather, connect, and inspire audiences with little or no exposure to artistic and cultural opportunities. Residency projects engage participants in a series of artist-led workshops that are highly participatory and/or educational, and which match thoughtful and meaningful exchanges with appropriate audiences at host organizations in each City Council District. Eligible applicants must demonstrate at least two years of experience in instructing participants in any artistic discipline.

Artist In Residence Program Workshops:
Thursday, September 19, The Actor's Fund, 5757 Wilshire Blvd #400, 6:30 – 8:00pm

Fellowship Program
The City of Los Angeles offers Master Fellowships annually to honor 10-15 of Los Angeles' most creative design, literary, media, performing and visual artists. These awards allow the selected architects, graphic/product designers, poets, fiction writers, video/filmmakers, choreographers-dancers, musicians, theatrical performance artists, sculptors, painters and photographers to create new works that the City premieres in group presentations.
