The information below is excerpted from the Foundation's Center RFP Bulletin (2) California Community Foundation Arts Funding Initiative Offers Support to Los Angeles Artists and Arts Organizations Deadline: January 25, 2002 The California Community Foundation ( http://www.calfund.org/ ) Arts Funding Initiative brings together the J. Paul Getty Trust Fund for the Visual Arts, the Brody Arts Fund, and other foundation funds to award more than $2.5 million to visual artists and organizations in Los Angeles County from 2001 to 2004. Grants in 2002 will be made to individual visual artists; a special round of grants is also available to grassroots visual arts organizations and to small theaters that further the California Community Foundation's philanthropic goals. The five major goals of the Visual Arts Initiative are to acknowledge the contributions of outstanding mid-career visual artists in Los Angeles by enhancing, encouraging, and nurturing artistic accomplishments; to encourage and foster promising and emerging visual artists in Los Angeles by supporting the early stages of individual development; to support and develop special artistic or cultural projects of unusual merit that reflect the Los Angeles area's diverse population; to improve access to cultural and artistic programs among the diverse communities of Los Angeles; and to support grassroots visuals organizations and small theater companies that embody the cultural richness of Los Angeles and foster broad artistic excellence. The program will award eight $15,000 fellowships to individual artists in Los Angeles County -- five awards to mid-career artists and three awards to emerging artists. For organizations, grants of up to $15,000 per organization will be awarded to small visual arts organizations and theater companies in Los Angeles.
