Different than Arts and Culture’s longstanding funding for nonprofits with a primary mission in the arts, CIAG supports arts-based programs of social justice and service organizations, recognizing their reach in underserved and marginalized communities. CIAG was designed to address two priorities: It makes arts services available to L.A. County residents who might not experience them through traditional arts venues and outlets, and it encourages the intersection of the arts in cross-sector work in local nonprofits.
The Child and Family Center will receive $13,230 to support arts-based psychoeducational groups for youth ages 5- 17 years old who have been diagnosed with a behavioral health problem.
