2024 City of Los Angeles (COLA) Independent Master Artist Projects (COLA-IMAP) Grant ProgramThe COLA-IMAP Grant Program allows accomplished artists to create a new ¡°mid-career¡± solo work with the freedom to re-focus on themselves and their core impulses. The COLA-IMAP grant category honors a spectrum of the City¡¯s avant-garde artists who: - Are dedicated to an ongoing body of excellent work.
- Represent a relevant progression through their pieces or series over the past 15 years (or 8 years for a dancer/choreographer).
- Exemplify a generation of core ideas in their field.
- Are respected by their peers and are role models for other artists because of their distinguished record.
Approximately 6-12 COLA-IMAP grant-contracts will be offered for designers/visual artists (including architects, graphic designers, and product designers including fashion designers), literary artists (poets or fiction writers) and performing artists (including choreographers who wish to make and perform individual dance works, musicians who wish to compose and perform individual music works, and multi-disciplinary theater artists who wish to invent and perform solo works). ?will organize an online and/or printed catalog to promote the entire set of COLA-IMAP grantees as ¡°creative treasures¡± and document/market the group as one cross-section of the exciting Los Angeles art scene. DCA and community partners will also attempt to showcase a curated selection of each master-artist¡¯s new work in either a gallery exhibition or performing arts showcase. ELIGIBILITYCompetitive applicants are: - Individual artists or independent duos, who are professional masters of self-evolved ideas?(not curators, presenters, or interpreters of other artists¡¯ works, and not artists who have primarily built their credentials within collaborative groups or within social practices) If the art practice involves groups, interactivity with a specific type of person, or is conceptualized to be sited in a self-selected place, then please apply to DCA¡¯s?. Proposed projects are deemed INELIGIBLE if they: are collaboratively made, and interactive with the audiences or other artists (but not including technicians or fabricators).
- Current residents of Los Angeles County, who also demonstrate on their resumes that they either live in the City of Los Angeles or have a 3 or more-year history of presenting work in the City of Los Angeles.

Please Post- Application Now Open- Neighborhood Engagement Artist Residency and Creative Optimism- Uplifting Promises Grants
Neighborhood Engagement Artist Residency and Creative Optimism- Uplifting Promises Grants Neighborhood Engagement Artist Residency?(NEAR)?grants support freelance teaching artists, social-activation artists, and social practice artists in community-based, participatory projects in self-selected non-arts venues within the City of Los Angeles. Competitive NEAR projects will gather, connect, and inspire participants and audiences who have little exposure to the proposed type of cultural opportunity. NEAR projects should be structured as eleven or more free or low-cost sessions culminating in one or more presentations that are open and promoted to the general public (proposing at least eleven workshops is the ideal duration for community engagement; however, applicants are encouraged to propose projects that can be scaled back to five workshops with one public presentation, as DCA staff will notify NEAR applicants next May about whether the City budget is able to provide NEAR grantees with either a $12,000 or a reduced $6,000 service contract).
Creative Optimism¨CUplifting Promises?(CO-UP) grants support collaborations between a local nonprofit social justice organization and a creative teaching artist (a freelance artist or an artist already working within a non-profit arts organization in the same community as the social justice organization). In some cases, a third partner, acting as a host site for the project may also be named. Eligible collaborative projects should be: 1) new or launched within the past four years, 2) free or low-cost for participants, and 3) culminate in at least one free public presentation that will be accessible to the general community. CO-UP residences should be structured as eleven sessions ending in one public presentation. CO-UP residencies are funded at $15,000 with $12,000 allocated for artist payment and $3,000 allocated for the social justice organization¡¯s administrative expenses (meritorious CO-UP proposals that cannot be fully funded at $15,000, may be converted to a NEAR project consisting of five workshops and one culminating event with a budget of $6,000 -- DCA staff will notify CO-UP applicants next May about whether the City budget able to provide grantees with either a $15,000 or a reduced $6,000 service contract).?
DCA?defines a social justice organization as any social service nonprofit organization that has a board-approved and publicly printed/repeated mission statement that names a primary cause for equality (which can be: cultural, economic, environmental, immigration, healthcare, or housing-based); as well as a history of both advocacy to rebalance public policies, and community-based programs to address the same historic/current inequity. Religious, political and legal nonprofits are not eligible under this definition. Likewise, nonprofits that are statewide, national, or international in scale are not eligible at this time, because the pilot years of both the NEAR and CO-UP categories are aimed at local neighborhood and community impact. Arts- based nonprofits should apply directly to DCA¡¯s Cultural Grant Program category each August and should not be the primary applicant of a CO-UP proposal (although arts organizations in LA County may partner by lending an employee with expertise to collaborate with an eligible social justice organization on a CO-UP project).
GOALS? ?Supply creative arts resources to neighborhood host/partner organizations in each Council District by providing direct and intimate access to contemporary teaching-artists;
?Support projects that will consistently engage no less than 20 participants on some topic of thematic learning, and the group will culminate their workshops by staging a final
presentation to be viewed by no less than 40 other individuals.

BACKGROUND The Outwords Archive (OUTWORDS) records, preserves, and shares the stories of LGBTQ+ elders across the United States, to build community and catalyze social change. Since 2016, OUTWORDS has recorded nearly 350 interviews in 45 states with the queer generation who mostly came of age in the 1950s and 1960s, and are now in their 70s, 80s, and 90s. It is critically important for us to document the diverse firsthand accounts of these elders while they are still alive to tell them. More about OUTWORDS:

They will also have a strong track record as a self-motivated, independent worker with outstanding organizational and communication skills. Each of the six episodes will include a standalone conversation between two co-hosts and 1-2 LGBTQ+ elders from The Outwords Archive. The interviews/conversations will focus on trans healthcare legislation, trans immigration law, trans BIPOC incarceration, trans representation in the legal system, intersex law, and two-spirit identity as a legal and political issue. Episodes may also include audio from elders¡¯ OUTWORDS interviews. Responsibilities for the Producer/Editor: - Work with the co-producer to establish a reasonable production timeline for the project.
