Artist Ray Mc Cray

Felicia Filer, Director, Public Art Division, Department of Cultural Affairs came to Ray’s studio to check out his work.

Ray, Ceaz Hernandez and Greg Dahl pulled out all Ray’s paintings. Felicia looked at all of Ray’s work and outlined how artists can get commissions and grants from the City of Los Angeles.
