Cultural AffairsIssuing agency·Los Angeles, CA·via the City of Los AngelesNeighborhood Engagement Artist Residency (NEAR) grants support individual freelance teaching artists who serve as project-leaders to design and manage a series of free or low-cost community-relevant workshops that culminate in public, community presentations. Creative Optimism-Uplifting Promises (CO-UP) grants foster similar teaching artist-led creative collaborations at social justice organizations throughout the city. In contrast to NEAR projects, a CO-UP proposal should be submitted by nonprofit social justice organizations who seek to employ a freelance teaching artist to carry out a project at a social justice organization.
Grants for NEAR/CO-UP projects can range up to $12,000 or $15,000, and must take place in facilities that are not conventional arts spaces. For more information, including eligibility requirements, program timelines, and application instructions, please review the guidelines at: https://culture.lacity.gov/grants/.
