We are pleased to announce that the Hammer Museum
will receive a $100,000 grant from the Goldhirsh Foundation to implement
our urban renewal project Arts ReStore LA: Westwood.
Thank you for the overwhelming support and to everyone who made this
possible. The Hammer was one of ten winners of the Goldhirsh
Foundation’s My LA2050 challenge, which asked organizations across the city to address our region’s toughest challenges.
“We’re all thrilled to have received LA2050’s arts
and cultural vitality grant,” said Hammer director Ann Philbin. “Now it
is time to roll up our sleeves, get to work, and show how Los Angeles’
creative community can be a forceful economic driver.”
Our vision is to inspire the retail property owners of Westwood to tap the extraordinary creative community of Los Angeles as a strategy to activate the Village long term. Everyone benefits if these empty spaces come alive with locally produced goods, crafts, apparel, and furniture, and the neighborhood becomes a vibrant community where consumers can buy unique, locally-made products.
LA2050 received 279 project submissions and more than 70,000 people voted to select the ten winning proposals.
