C.O.L.A. History
Department of Cultural Affairs Cultural Grant Program
The City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs awards grants for the production, creation, presentation, exhibition, and managerial support of art projects in the following
areas: design, dance, media, music, literary arts, theatre, traditional/folk art, visual arts,
arts management, and projects which are multi-disciplinary.
Grants are awarded on a competitive basis to bring the highest quality artistic and cultural services to the residents of and tourists visiting Los Angeles. Since 1990, the Department
of Cultural Affairs has awarded over $53 million dollars to local artists, arts organizations,
and arts events. In 2009-2010, the Department offered $3 million in project support to more than 280 local artists and organizations through its Cultural Grant Program.
C.O.L.A. Individual Artist Fellowships
Each C.O.L.A. grant recipient was offered $10,000 to create new work that is showcased in a
non-thematic group presentation series. This annual Spring event greatly benefits general audiences and honors a selection of established and creative artists who live and work in
Los Angeles.
