The Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) described an outreach effort that deploys three multidisciplinary artists to bring arts programming and engagement directly into communities across the city.
A DCA representative said community engagement is a long‑standing part of the department's work and has been augmented by a community engagement outreach team. The outreach artists teach and bring programming to local neighborhoods, with the stated goal of widening arts access "regardless of age, background" and presenting activities that encourage new ways of participating in the arts.
One outreach artist said the role aligned with their interest in giving back to the community and that they aim to be an example while teaching. DCA staff said they are working to make programs available both in person and online, and to reach people who might not otherwise have access to arts opportunities.
The remarks focused on program mission and outreach strategy; the transcript did not include contract terms, grant amounts, or specific performance metrics for the outreach artists.
