Beginning January 1, 2011, administration of the Durfee Foundation's ARC Program (Artists' Resource for Completion) transitioned to the Center for Cultural Innovation. The quarterly deadline cycle, selection process and grant dollars available have remained the same. The Durfee Foundation and the Center for Cultural Innovation are very excited to partner in continuing to make this important and vital resource available to L.A. artists. By transferring the ARC grants program to CCI, the Durfee Foundation hopes to bring additional resources to the
ARC grants program to continue this funding opportunity in the future.

The 2012 Guidelines and Application for the current Quarterly Deadline are now available.
