DCA 2011-2012 Grant Program announced
July 24, 2010
The City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) has announced the Grant Program 2011-2012 guidelines for organizations and outdoor festivals and parades. DCA’s Grants Administration Division subsidizes artists, art teams, festival collaborations between social service organizations and arts producers, non-profit art organization operations, and non-profit art organization projects that specifically support arts management, dance, culture/history, literature, media, music, outdoor festivals/parades, theater, visual/design arts, traditional/ folk arts, or multi-disciplinary arts. All DCA grant-funded activities must support public-benefit activities.
This on-line publication provides information and application forms for non-profit arts organizations as well as non-profit organizations that produce cultural festivals. Eligible organizations may apply for a grant from DCA for operational or project support during fiscal year 2011-2012 (July 1, 2011 - June 30, 2012).
The postmark deadline for this round of grant applications is August 20, 2010.
The guidelines and a message from DCA Executive Director Olga Garay are available online at:

In September, guidelines and applications for individual artists - City of Los Angeles (COLA) fellowships and the Artist-In-Residence (AIR) program - will be available online. Also available in the Fall will be revised Cultural Exchange International (CEI) fellowship guidelines and application forms. Applicants to CEI may be individual creative professionals, non-profit organizations, or for-profit businesses.
