LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A major effort is underway to help local art and cultural institutions that have been hit hard by the pandemic. The new L.A. Arts Recovery Fund hopes to provide some much needed support.
Art, from performance to the visual, is said to be food for the soul. But since the pandemic, museums, art galleries and theaters have shuttered.
"This has devastated the sector and so we've heard from hundreds of organizations. We also know artists and others, creative workers they employ really looking for relief and ways to get to recovery," said Kristin Sakoda, Director, LA County Department of Arts & Culture.
