Visual Communications to Receive Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts

Visual Communications has been approved for a Grants for Arts Projects award from the National Endowment for the Arts to support our Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival.

Since 1983, the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival has presented over 5,000 films, videos, and digital mediaworks by Asian international and Asian Pacific American artists, and additionally features seminars and panels, in-person guest appearances, and filmmaker awards. The Film Festival continues to be the largest festival of its kind in Southern California and is the premier showcase for the best and brightest of Asian Pacific American and international cinema.

Our project is among 1,073 projects across America totaling nearly $25 million that were selected during this first round of fiscal year 2021 funding in the Grants for Arts Projects funding category.

“The National Endowment for the Arts is proud to support this project from Visual Communications,” said Arts Endowment Acting Chairman Ann Eilers. “Visual Communications is among the arts organizations across the country that have demonstrated creativity, excellence, and resilience during this very challenging year.”

Thank you for the support, the National Endowment for the Arts!
