A coalition of major arts organizations and philanthropists in Los Angeles led by the J. Paul Getty Trust announced Wednesday a $12 million relief fund for local artists affected by the devastating Los Angeles fires.

The LA Arts Community Fire Relief Fund has been established for arts workers in all disciplines who have lost residences, studios, or livelihoods or have otherwise been impacted by the fires. The fund will be administered by the Center for Cultural Innovation, an intermediary that has long provided funding, advocacy, and research support on behalf of individuals in the arts.

Beginning Monday, January 20, artists can apply for an emergency grant at CCIArts.org.
