Championing Creativity as a Lever for Change
Los Angeles is the creative capital of the world, home to a thriving arts community and a hub of innovation in entertainment and culture. Yet, beyond the spotlight, many nonprofit arts organizations are doing critical work to bring creativity and self-expression to underserved communities. These organizations often face a lack of funding and recognition, but they are the backbone of LA's vibrant cultural landscape.
Create a Canvas of Equity and Expression
The Arts and Culture portfolio at the California Community Foundation focuses on amplifying the voices of emerging Los Angeles artists. Through our work, we aim to:
Diversify the Arts Sector — We are committed to advancing the careers of community-based artists, ensuring their perspectives can be heard and celebrated.
Make Art Accessible for All — We believe that creativity should be open to everyone, regardless of income. We work to ensure that all Angelenos can experience and participate in the arts.
Support Socially Engaged Art — Art has the power to shape society. We fund projects that use creativity to advocate for a fairer, more just world.
Through our grants and initiatives, we empower communities to pursue careers in the arts, improve working conditions, and foster creative expression that inspires social change.
Together, we can build a more inclusive, creative Los Angeles, where everyone can express themselves and contribute to a just society.
Join with CCF in creating a more vibrant and artistic Los Angeles for all residents.
