DCA's Arts Activation Fund: Corona Memorials (2020-21)

Through Corona Memorials—a re-envisioning of the Arts Activation Fund (AAF) for 2020-21—the City of Los Angeles continues to support artists who live and work in Los Angeles to act as collective-thinkers for our collective awareness and community healing.

Corona Memorials seeks to commission approximately 70 creative-tributes by 70 lead artists who will receive seed funding of $600 each to reflect the lifetime of a person who has died from COVID-19 by engaging the family or dearest friends of the deceased.

In the end, Corona Memorials may be songs, poems, paintings, photographic presentations, or a mix of these, as well as any other forms, that can be revealed within set of expression to be shared online for the general public.
