| WHY: |
As one of the few supporters of individual artists in Los Angeles, the California Community Foundation will award more than $1 million to local artists and arts organizations through its Visual Arts Initiative at this reception. The Visual Arts Initiative is designed to nurture and support the work of Los Angeles area artists and arts organizations while reflecting the diversity and richness of the many unique communities that make up this region. Since 2001, the community foundation has distributed $555,000 to outstanding emerging and mid-career artists and close to $2.8 million to visual arts organizations and small theater companies. The Visual Arts Initiative is made possible by the J. Paul Getty Trust Fund for the Visual Arts, the Brody Arts Fund, the Atlass Fund and other California Community Foundation funds.
