Free Concerts in Public Sites Program

With funding support from the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, the Arts Commission administers the sponsorship of free concerts at community venues throughout Los Angeles County to provide access to quality music programming representing the diversity of County residents. Each of the Supervisor Board Offices provides funds to cover musician’s fees for approved concerts in their district at rates comparable to the American Federation of Musician’s pay scale for free concerts. The Arts Commission coordinates payments to musicians while Free Concert Presenters are responsible for communicating all information to the Arts Commission and musicians, coordinating all necessary production logistics, marketing the event, and effectively drawing the audience size as proposed in the application.

Free Concert Presenters

The Arts Commission accepts applications from community organizations interested in producing and marketing a free concert. Eligible organizations include Los Angeles County-based parks, libraries, hospitals, juvenile halls, probation camps, arts organizations, civic centers, senior citizen centers, and other non-profit performance venues. Funding is available for applicants located in Los Angeles County Districts 2, 3, 4, and 5. (Applicants located in District 1 may email publicevents@arts.lacounty.gov for more information). Applicants must be willing to coordinate all logistics, production and marketing of the event, and show that they can effectively bring in an appropriate audience size for their proposed concert to be considered.

Applications are currently available and will be due on Wednesday, March 6, 2013 at 4:00pm. If you have any questions contact publicevents@arts.lacounty.gov.
