ARTISTS AT WORK: LOS ANGELES COUNTY
The Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture and THE OFFICE Performing Arts + Film are excited to announce an open call for artists to apply to Artists At Work (AAW), a national workforce resilience program designed to support artists and their communities through artistic civic engagement.
Led by THE OFFICE and implemented in partnership with Arts and Culture, this new opportunity will provide salaried employment for four artists for an 18-month term (June 1, 2025 - November 30, 2026) to support them in their artistic practice and in working collaboratively with community members and organizational partners to address local needs in Los Angeles County.
In Los Angeles County, artists will focus on the impact area: Recovery and Resilience. Two artists will partner with local nonprofit organizations in areas recovering from the devastating 2025 wildfires, where they will focus on supporting and strengthening community identity, cultural preservation, and civic memory. One artist will partner with a local nonprofit to explore arts-based environmental sustainability practices that contribute to community climate resiliency. And, one artist will partner with a local nonprofit to explore the role of the arts in health and wellbeing at the individual and community level.
