Getty will create a $10-million COVID-19 relief fund for L.A. arts organizations
. This included helping to fund a team from the National Trust for Historic Preservation in the weeks after the storm to help determine what could be preserved. The foundation also worked with local organizations, helping connect them to one another, to see how they might be able to share resources.
“People were so preoccupied with the losses of their own homes and their own institutions, that they were focused on that,” Weinstein says. “Part of it was bringing together institutions to figure out how to share resources as their staffs were devastated.” The next step consisted of supporting organizations through a period of uncertainty. In New Orleans, that meant dispensing $2.9 million in relief grants to help see organizations through the darkest days.
“In New Orleans, they didn’t know what was going to happen next: Would the people come back? Would the money come back?” Weinstein says. “It reminds me of the moment we’re in. ... Even if we get through this initial part of the pandemic, what will happen? When will we be able to venture back out again? Will people want to congregate?”The hope is that a little bit of financial relief will see arts organizations through to the next step.
