400 artists and 80 arts organization received $2.7 million in total grants as a part of Getty's COVID-19 relief effort administered by California Community Foundation to support visual arts in the Los Angeles region.

These grants will address urgent financial needs over the next three months, including staff salaries, rent, and emergency supplies to comply with public health measures. This basic operating support will also allow organizations some leeway to plan for reopening, restructuring, and collaboration.
.
“The arts are a source of expression, resistance, and healing,” says Getty Foundation director Joan Weinstein. “But our creative artists and arts organizations, who do so much to advocate for social change, will not survive this pandemic and its economic fallout if we don’t take action now to support them.”

Artist relief fund created by CCF and Getty with additional contributions from the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts, the Sam Francis Foundation, and the Shepard and Amanda Fairey Foundation.
