The Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) is a proud supporter of Los Angeles’s 2025 African American Heritage Month Celebration. This celebration will promote and encourage an awareness of the significant contributions made by our City’s African Americans in culture, education, politics, business, technology, and the arts. As part of this celebration, DCA is once again creating a comprehensive calendar and cultural guide to showcase quality African American artists from across Los Angeles and to list in person and online programming (exhibitions, concerts, special events, lectures, etc.) related to this annual celebration of African American culture. Our goals are to expose Angelenos to the great works of our local visual and literary artists, and to make them aware of the exciting online cultural activities happening as part of the celebration. We also want to encourage their appreciation of LA’s African American past artistic traditions and today’s modern, contemporary styles.
