February 12
The California Arts Council has announced a grant award to homeLA as part of its General Operating Grant program during its 2024-25 fiscal year grant cycle. Support awarded will continue to benefit communities throughout the state until the end of the project cycle timeline in September 2025.
“We are beyond thankful for CAC’s continual support and for this General Operating Grant, which will ensure homeLA’s programming for 2025. As we enter into a divisive era, funding organizations that support dance and performance that is experimental, daring, and provocative (like homeLA!!!) is so important. Especially as we witness funding opportunities for performance disappear.” - Chloë Flores, homeLA Executive Director and Curator
