AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

The Mayor's Office and The Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) are proud supporters of the second annual Los Angeles 2012 Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Heritage Month Celebration. This celebration will promote and encourage an awareness of the significant contributions made by our City's LGBT community members in culture, education, politics, business, entertainment, technology, and the arts.

As part of this celebration we are creating the first comprehensive Los Angeles LGBT Heritage Month Calendar and Cultural Guide showcasing quality LGBT artists from across Los Angeles and listing the numerous events, exhibitions, lectures, festivals, and cultural programs related to this celebration of LGBT culture.

Our goal is to expose Angelenos to the great works of our local visual artists, and to make them aware of the exciting events happening as part of the celebration. We also want to encourage their appreciation of LA's past artistic traditions and today's modern contemporary styles.

To assist us, we invite you to please submit images of your visual works of art via email to Martica Caraballo Stork at marta.stork@lacity.org. Please only send high-resolution images (300 DPI or larger) appropriate for publication. Please include all credit information with all works submitted.

The deadline for artwork submissions is May 14, 2012.

We appreciate your help and look forward to commemorating LGBT heritage in Los Angeles through this special publication.
