With CAC General Operating Support, Art in the Park Community Cultural Programs will invest in the labor of artists and teachers working directly with the public. We are focused on growing our capacity to provide accessible, equitable, and thoughtful arts programming that uplifts our community. By sustaining artist-led initiatives, increasing our hourly wages for community teachers, and raising artists’ project stipends, we will build a more sustainable practice that both deepens meaningful artistic engagement, and better serves the diverse populations we serve in North East Los Angeles. This investment in artists and community engagement is essential to maintaining a vibrant, resilient, and culturally rich environment where all individuals can access and participate in the arts.
