The  California Arts Council, a state agency, as well as the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. LA C&D is funded in part by a grant from the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, through the Los Angeles County Arts Commission, and the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs. LA C&D has also received a Music in Public Places award from the LA County Arts Commission (District 4 office of Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe) for Louie Cruz Beltran Latin Jazz Ensemble for our closing night in the music area. Other major sponsors include: Joe Buscaino, LA City Council Member District 15, Don Knabe, LA County Commissioner, Jayme Wilson, Ports O'Call Restaurant & Spirit Cruises, Matt Lincir, Alvas, Rickenbacker Guitars. Our Directors worked so hard....besides me there was Jan Kain, Greg  Neethling, and Rick Conkey. Besides us, our primary volunteers during the Festival itself were Loretta Zerby and Jenni Kiilholma, and a special shout-out to Stacy Alvarez! Our first on location admin was Alina KIng, who grew our list of sponsor's gifts, and at our office in LA, USC work-studies James Bergstrom and Alex Martinez kept the web site up-to date.

This year we were able to lead up to the festival with three previews in diverse areas of San Pedro, and we had much support from many that donated towards our free drawings. Please see www.triart.com for a list.
