The L.A. County Board Of Supervisors has allocated $22 million for arts and creative recovery from the American Rescue Act.
The one time funds will address six needs in the arts and culture sector, jobs for artists and creative workers; a marketing initiative that amplifies reopenings in the cultural sector and encourages tourism within that sector; strengthening creative career education and pathways for LA County youth; arts education; and support for justice-involved youth.
The $22M will be managed and distributed by the Department of Arts and Culture and includes $750,000 for arts education programs at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital’s cardiology team gathered Tuesday to unveil the Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement, or TAVR, a cutting-edge cardiac procedure.
“Over the last decade, the TAVR procedure has revolutionized the way that we treat heart disease,” said Dr. Abhishek Sinha, a structural heart director at Henry Mayo.
Sinha was a fellow at the University of Washington, when they did the first TAVR procedure, and has performed 175 since then.
