Ford Community
The Ford is building towards a future where artistic and creative aspirations have the space and resources to become reality by making such resources available to our artists and the communities we serve.
The FordLab Producers Program
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.
Community Residencies
Community Residencies at The Ford partner with youth-oriented organizations in LA County to broaden the opportunities available for youth-centered career development in the arts and beyond.
Las Fotos Project Creative Entrepreneurship Opportunities
Each year, The Ford engages a cohort of photographers through practical experiences that contribute to the expansion of their portfolios and professional skills.
Las Fotos Project Creative Career Center
This partnership engages emerging professionals to showcase some of our FordLab participants and contributes to the expansion of their careers in the creative industry.
Community Concert Connections
Through Community Concert Connections, the LA Phil distributes complimentary tickets to organizations, community groups, and nonprofts that work with individuals in need, and families, youth, and seniors who otherwise could not attend performances.
Our Neighbors
The Ford works with neighbors in formal and informal ways, all in a commitment to collaboration.
Land Acknowledgment
We honor and respect the many indigenous peoples connected to this land and express our admiration.
