We were proud to attend the 1st Arts Administrators of Color convening in LA that brought together BIPOC arts administrators from across the US for workshops, important discussions & site visits.

Our staff & Board recently met to revise what drives us at Arts for LA. We had incredible discussions, out-of-the-box ideas & reached consensus as to best articulate what we do. At a time of constant flux for the arts in our country, it's more important than ever that we anchor into our values.
