LA County-based independent artists, nonprofit organizations, presenters, producers, or producing collectives are invited to apply to be a part of our season through different iterations of producing partnerships.

Through collaborative efforts with local youth-oriented organizations, Community Residencies aims to broaden the opportunities available for emerging professionals in the arts, on and off the stage.

Each year, The Ford engages a cohort of photographers through practical experiences that contribute to the expansion of their portfolios and professional skills.

This partnership engages emerging professionals to showcase some of The Ford’s performing artists and contributes to the expansion of their careers in the creative industry.

Through our Access Initiatives, we create an accessible venue that brings hundreds of individuals and community organizations to The Ford for free or at a discounted price. 

Each year, the Ticket Access program engages with communities across the County of Los Angeles by distributing free tickets to select shows throughout our season, bringing hundreds of people to experience our wonderful venue at no cost.

The EBT Access Program provides discounted tickets to eligible individuals across the County of Los Angeles who have an active Medi-Cal or Cal-Fresh (EBT) card.  

The Ford works with neighbors in formal and informal ways, all in a commitment to collaboration.

We honor and respect the many indigenous peoples connected to this land and express our admiration.
