In Los Angeles, Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture has identified recovery and resilience from the devastating 2025 wildfires as the area of focus for four local AAW artists.  Two will partner with local nonprofit organizations (Alma Cielo in collaboration with Los Angeles Conservancy and Natalie Godinez in collaboration with Los Angeles Public Library/Library Foundation of Los Angeles) in areas recovering from the Altadena and Palisades wildfires to support and strengthen community identity, cultural preservation, and civic memory. Benjamin Morales will partner with Boyle Heights Arts Conservatory to explore arts-based environmental sustainability practices that contribute to community climate resiliency. Alexander McNab, in collaboration with LA Commons, will 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.
