THE OFFICE Performing Arts + Film is excited to announce an open call for artists to apply to Artists At Work (AAW).

Led by THE OFFICE and implemented in partnership with the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture, this new opportunity will provide salaried employment for four artists for an 18 month term (June 1, 2025 - November 30, 2026) to support them in their artistic practice and in working collaboratively with community members and organizational partners to address local needs in Los Angeles County. Selected artists will be part of a national cohort of 24 artists across 6 cities in the United States.

In Los Angeles County, artists will focus on the impact area: Recovery and Resilience. Two artists will partner with local nonprofit organizations in areas recovering from the devastating 2025 wildfires, where they will focus on supporting and strengthening community identity, cultural preservation, and civic memory. One artist will partner with a local nonprofit to explore arts-based environmental sustainability practices that contribute to community climate resiliency. And, one artist will partner with a local nonprofit to explore the role of the arts in health and wellbeing at the individual and community level.

Artists At Work is produced and administered by THE OFFICE performing arts + film with generous support from the Mellon Foundation.
