In addition to a three-year grant, the program includes a Professional Development component consisting of a series of educational training activities, including workshops, conferences and training seminars. Grantee Highlights: Pacific Islander Community Council, Carson The Pacific Islander Community Council (PICC) is a nonprofit, communitybased organization formed to promote cultural traditions, beliefs, island practices, native language, education, scholarship, health and welfare of all Pacific Islanders. Among its many programs, PICC has produced the Pacific Islander Festival since 1989, drawing the largest Pacific Islander audience in the nation. The festival celebrates the shared heritage of Pacific Islanders from Hawaii, Samoa, Tahiti, New Zealand, Fiji, Guam, Cooks, and the Marshall Islands with traditional performances, cultural arts projects and native island cuisine. This grant will be used to support artists fees and technical and production costs associated with the festival. The festival has served as a model for other Pacific Islander communities from Arizona, Nevada, Hawaii, Seattle, Colorado, Texas and throughout California.

New Pr o g r a m Multicultural Next Generation Program 18 grants totaling $352,000 The Next Generation program is a new program that recognizes and supports young multicultural artists (typically ages 18-25). Presently in its initial year, funding flows through arts groups and organizations for such activities as opportunity grants for young artists, exhibitions, performances, marketing and promotion, and professional development activities. Grantees must demonstrate at least a two-year track record of programs and services for young artists. Grantee Highlights: The Lula Washington Dance Theatre (LWDT), Los Angeles Created by Lula and Erwin Washington in 1980, the south central Los Angelesbased Lula Washington Dance Theatre provides a creative outlet for dance artists. Composed of athletic young dancers with strong modern dance and ballet training, the company performs a mixed repertoire of dance throughout California and the nation. Many of the dancers began as Washington’s students when they were children. Others migrated to the company from across the country drawn by the intelligence, physicality, range, and theatricality of the work. The dancers perform a variety of programs from modern dance to African dance; from jazz to cutting edge performance art. The organization has a school that provides classes in ballet, modern dance, jazz, African, hip-hop, tap, gymnastics, dance-theatre and performance art. LWDT’s program components include a professional modern dance troupe of 10 members, a Youth Dance Ensemble, and a latchkey project for inner city children called “I Do Dance, Not Drugs.” With Next Generation Program grant funds, Lula Washington Dance Theatre will provide a year of free professional dance classes for three to ten young dance artists. The participants will choreograph, perform, and produce two studio showcase performances. They will receive instruction in arts administration, marketing, and fundraising. Each participant will audition to perform with LWDT as apprentices or company members. Website: www.lulawashington.com Highlights 39Year in Review Grant Programs www.cac.ca.gov
