Foundations and Arts Organizations Create $12M LA Arts Community Fire Relief Fund. Emergency relief fund will provide critical support for artists and arts workers impacted by Los Angeles fires.
A coalition of major arts organizations and philanthropists in Los Angeles led by the J. Paul Getty Trust, including the Mohn Art Collective (Hammer Museum, LACMA, and MOCA) partnered with East West Bank, today joined with the Mellon Foundation, the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Qatar Museums, Ford Foundation, and other national and international institutions to announce the creation of the LA Arts Community Fire Relief Fund, an emergency relief fund for artists and arts workers in all disciplines who have lost residences, studios, or livelihoods or have otherwise been impacted by the devastating Los Angeles fires.
The fund will be administered by the Center for Cultural Innovation, a longstanding intermediary providing funding, advocacy, and research support on behalf of individuals in the arts.
The LA Arts Community Fire Relief Fund has launched with $12 million and is continuing to grow in response to the severe need. For a full list of contributors or to join the coalition and partner in this initiative, please visit the Getty webpage.
