The grant was awarded to the broadcaster by the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs and Los Angeles World Airports.

The radio station-turned-arts-hub recently celebrated 25 years of broadcasting free-form, independent radio. RA reports the programme will feature original compositions, exhibitions, and performances by more than 30 artists.

dublab opened a new headquarters in Los Angeles' University Park neighbourhood last May, which serves as a hub to host educational programmes such as workshops, classes, and roundtable discussions.

Since broadcasting began in 1999, dublab has expanded to include art, films, and events in its programming. Despite having roots in LA, the radio station now hosts shows DJs and artists worldwide.
