2010-11 WINTER PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM INFORMATION

On November 7, 2008, the Arts Commission launched the [Inside] the Ford
Winter Partnership Program. Recognizing that many Los Angeles
County-based theatre companies do not have permanent performance homes
and that the cost of producing theatrical works has become prohibitively
expensive in the area, the Arts Commission provides an opportunity for
theatre companies without a permanent performance venue to produce in
one of the best small 87-seat theatres in Los Angeles County at a highly
subsidized cost and with significant marketing support.

HOW TO APPLY

Similar to a grant program, proposals for the [Inside] the Ford Winter
program are considered on a competitive basis. The Arts Commission will
partner with three theatre companies and assist each to present a
proposed theatrical work. To submit a proposal under this program,
please read through the entire guidelines and then complete an
application available online at www.FordTheatres.org, click on
"Opportunities" then "Artist Partnership Programs" then
"Winter Season Partnership Program."

Workshops about the [Inside] the Ford Winter Partnership Program and how
to submit a competitive proposal will be held on Tuesday, February 2,
2010 at 7:00 p.m. and Tuesday, March 2, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. at the Ford
Theatres complex. Attending an application workshop is required for
applicants applying to the program for the first time. RSVP at
publicevents@arts.lacounty.gov
or call 323-856-5793.

ELIGIBILITY
To be eligible to apply to the [Inside] the Ford Winter Partnership
Program, applicants must:

§ Be a Los Angeles County-based theatre company without a
