This May and June DCA will premiere new works of art by the fourteen recipients of the 2021 City of Los Angeles (COLA) Individual Artist Fellowships. Each year DCA supports creative production by LA’s leading literary, performing, visual, and design artists through the COLA initiative with grants of $10,000 each to create new, original works and present them via a performance platform and exhibition.
The 2021 COLA Fellows are: Neel Agrawal, Noel Alumit, Edgar Arceneaux, Maura Brewer, Nao Bustamante, Jedediah Caesar, Neha Choksi, Michael Datcher, Sarah Elgart, Lia Halloran, Phung Huynh, Farrah Karapetian, Ruben Ochoa, and Umar Rashid.
