Los Angeles began offering artists in the city the chance to apply for one-time grant of $500 to $1,500 today if they can demonstrate that they've been adversely affected by the coronavirus.

The grants are available until Sept. 1 or until the first 600 applicants have been approved.

The citywide COVID-19 Emergency Response Program for Individual Artists, administered by the Department of Cultural Affairs, is the first COVID- 19 relief fund specifically for individual artists.
