Relief grants worth $700,000 were also awarded to 400 artists — part of a first wave of grants to contend with the economic fallout of COVID-19.
Plaza de la Raza, the Women’s Center for Creative Work, the ONE Archives Foundation and the Underground Museum are among the 80 recipients of a first wave of relief grants set to be announced by the Getty Foundation on Wednesday morning. The grants, which total $2 million, were designed to support an array of small and midsize arts organizations operating in Los Angeles County as they contend with the economic fallout of the pandemic.
Among the recipients are small museums such as the Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles , the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach and the Wende Museum in Culver City. Also included are a range of smaller community organizations from around the county that have struggled economically after safer-at-home orders shut down revenue-generating events and fundraising activities.
These include the experimental contemporary arts space LAXART in Hollywood; the Association for the Advancement of Filipino American Arts and Culture , which organizes the Annual Festival of Philippine Arts & Culture; as well as Tía Chucha’s Centro Cultural in Sylmar, co-founded by L.A.
