We got the grant!!!
Huge thanks to the California Arts Council, making 50 years of creative impact! Thank you for selecting us to receive a $12,000 operations grant!

Y'all know how we do it, bridging the creative community across Los Angeles county and beyond with nearly 100 events each year! We feature nearly 300 unique artists a year across our events landscape, and offer our mic to 1000s to express themselves.

It's such an honor for us to be of service.

If you'd like to help our mission, we have a current campaign to help maintain our current technology and programming costs. You would be a big help with a gift of $10. It goes a long way.

Our grant will not be gifted until January, so your teamwork will absolutely help our dreamwork.

Muchos abrazos. Many thanks and yaaaaaay LA Poet Society!
We did it!
