In this time of unimaginable loss and hardship, the Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) wishes to express our sympathy and unwavering support to those who have been affected by the fires. The destruction that has touched so many lives is heartbreaking and we mourn the loss of life of those that have perished as a result of the fires. We continue to stand with you as you navigate this difficult time.

As a municipal arts and culture organization, we believe in the power of creativity to heal and bring people together. While words cannot rebuild what has been lost, we offer programs and resources as a place for reflection, connection and solace. Whether through the expression of art, sharing stories, or simply gathering with community partners, the DCA is here to help support you and your family during this time.

Our hearts go out to you, and we are committed to being a part of the community’s recovery. Please know DCA will be offering free and low-cost creative arts and culture programming throughout the city to help support you and your families during this time. We are also including resources to help anyone in need of support during this time.

With deepest compassion,

Daniel Tarica
General Manager
