Description

Originally formed in 1925 as the Municipal Arts Department, the Cultural Affairs Department fulfills the City's responsibilities in the arts, and manages 22 community arts centers as a method of providing cultural services in neighborhoods. The Department of Cultural Affairs was created by an act of the City Council on July 1, 1980. In November 1988, the City Council adopted the Los Angeles Endowment for the Arts, a trust fund that provides funding for cultural projects from proceeds of the Transient Occupancy Tax. This fund, along with an annual allocation from the City's General Fund, supports grant programs, festivals, neighborhood based programs, and both in-school and after-school arts education activities.
