Cultural Affairs Agency to Hold Grants Workshop

The Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Department has scheduled a workshop today to provide information on a $17,000 grant that is available for art programs in the harbor area.

The department issued $44,000 in grants for its regional arts program during the 1997-98 fiscal year, but the organization recently discovered that it had underfunded harbor-area programs. Money is still available for programs that encourage artists to initiate projects in underserved areas and make the arts accessible to the community.

The workshop, to be held at 10:30 a.m. in the Warner Grand Theater at 478 W. 6th St. in San Pedro, will provide information on the kind of programs the cultural affairs department is seeking and how to apply for a grant.
