Program II: Introduction to the Professional Art World
Student exhibits. Designed as a stepping stone for 11th and 12th graders who are interested in pursuing a career in art. This program teaches tools that are often not taught in school while giving the students an opportunity to exhibit in a gallery setting in DTLA. After completion of the program, each student has at least one exhibition to list on their CV.

Program III: Young Professionals at Risk
Grants. We understand the incredible difficulty it takes to become established as professional artist. Art materials & studio spaces are expensive and it can be challenging to regenerate funds simply through your practice in the beginning. YPAR grants deliver funds to young creatives (18 - 30 years old) facing financial hardships. These grants are required to be used for art materials, studio space, and furthering the chosen artists practice.

Program IV: The Residency
The Residency program offers professionally practicing artists free studio space and a solo exhibit in DTLA. This program promotes the emerging art scene, offers a safe-haven and workspace for creative individuals, and initiates a network between artists, collectors, and the Los Angeles community. It focuses on progression and encourages the chosen applicants to step out of their norm and try something new.

Program V: Community Integration
Local opportunities. Our latest program is an umbrella program for the various forms of community support, experiences, and opportunities we provide. These include but are not limited to live performances, workshops, materials/supplies drives, location activations, exhibits, critiques, social gatherings, and situational opportunities/aid.
