For Black History Month, graduates of the Work of Art program, known as "Enterprisers", were commissioned as working artists to celebrate 10 Black Angelenos currently making their mark in distinct industries.
Thank you to the Los Angeles Chargers for engaging our young creatives for such a meaningful project!
ABOUT WORK OF ART - SOCIAL ENTERPRISE
The Work of Art program at Inner-City Arts taps into the strengths of the vibrant youth of Los Angeles and supports their journey to assume their rightful place as drivers of the Creative Economy. These budding young professionals provide creative services for hire, under the direction of professional mentors and teaching artists. While employed as “Enterprisers”, they receive training and develop skills that support the development of an abundant and diverse supply of new talent into the creative industries.
ABOUT THE LOS ANGELES CHARGERS IMPACT FUND
The Chargers Impact Fund is committed to helping families thrive in and around Southern California. Alex and Faye Spanos firmly believed that a solid family foundation was critical to success in life. That's why in 1995 they created the Chargers Impact Fund to focus on improving the circumstances of families and their communities. Over the years, the Fund has awarded more than $12 million in direct community assistance, including more than $6 million to public schools for badly needed physical fitness, nutrition and athletic programs and equipment. Today, in partnership with Chargers fans, volunteers and donors, the Chargers Impact Fund continues to honor Alex and Faye's legacy by helping to build strong support structures for youth, families, and their communities across Southern California.
