Sony in America believes in the importance of supporting art in education. We feel that it is especially appropriate that we support the arts in the communities where our employees live and work. Nowhere is this more evident than in the many Southern California communities near the home of Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. has donated Sony electronics equipment to the Sony Pictures Media Arts Program (SPMAP), a program of the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the California Institute of the Arts (CAL ARTS) Community Arts Partnership (CAP) and Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. The free program offers students between the ages of 11 and 14 living within the City of Los Angeles, fundamentals in animation and art technique. Classes are available in drawing, design, color approaches, animation and media technology. Instruction is provided on state-of-the-art computers and video equipment.

The Company welcomes requests for support throughout the year within the guidelines set forth. There is no grant application form. Requests must be submitted in writing and should include the following information:
