Sign Up for the Los Angeles Culture Net listserv

The Arts Commission maintains LA Culture Net (LACN), a moderated listserv that provides a forum for arts administrators and artists in Los Angeles County to share information. The Arts Commission uses this listserv to communicate with the local arts community about its programs. Other contributors use LACN to:

• Announce job openings, volunteer options, and calls for artists;
• Share grant opportunities;
• Initiate art/cultural policy discussions;
• Issue calls for action to arts advocates;
• Make supplies available to arts groups/artists; and
• Notify people about arts workshops and professional development classes.
