Los Angeles, CA – The Eastside Arts Initiative (EAI) is accepting applications for its Spring 2018 application cycle, and applicants are invited to submit a Letter of Intent (LOI) by May 31, 2018. The EAI’s current granting cycle focuses on innovative and sustainable visual and performing arts programs that positively impact underserved communities; and advance opportunities for working and new artists.
“The EAI has updated our granting priorities and we are looking forward to receiving new proposals for arts initiatives that will impact ‘art poor’ communities and that support individual artists and their work in eastern Los Angeles County,” said EAI Council Chair Lupe Arriola.
Granting categories include: 1. Community Arts Programming; 2. Development of Artists and their Work; 3. Technical Support and Arts Advocacy. Grant funding ranges from $2,000 to $10,000 for non-match grants, and $11,000 to $50,000 for matching grants for categories 1 and 2. Category 3 provides non-monetary grants and offers support for direct training through workshops and coaches funded by the EAI.
Launched in September 2015, the EAI supports innovative arts initiatives and fosters collaborations furthering the arts in eastern Los Angeles County. Since then, the EAI granting program has awarded more than $550,000 in funding. Grantees are selected through an extensive review process by the EAI Council.
The EAI is a partnership of LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes (LA Plaza). LA Plaza celebrates the past and inspires the future by sharing the untold stories about the history, cultures, values and traditions of Mexicans, Mexican Americans and all Latinos in the founding and continuing evolution of Southern California.
