    LA museums and galleries have shut down during the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in lost jobs and furloughs for arts employees.

    Now the J. Paul Getty Trust aims to bring relief with its new $10 million fund. Grants range between $20,000 and $200,000. The money will go to small and medium-sized arts institutions, plus individual artists across LA County.
