About Art Share L.A.

WHO WE ARE

The mission of Art Share L.A. is to create equitable access to and inclusive opportunities for artists in the LA community. We work to eliminate the complex systems of privilege and power embedded in the art world which limit many BIPOC, disabled, LGBTQ+, low-income, and other historically marginalized communities from finding success in the creative economy.

HOUSING: Providing 30 affordable lofts for low-income residents, relieving working artists of their fear of displacement.

CREATIVE ECONOMY: Connecting artists to paid opportunities, from selling their artwork to public art commissions, and presenting free professional development programs.

ART SHARING: Providing our 30,000 sq. ft building as a platform for artists to share their work, our barrier-eliminating programming supports both visual and performing artists.
