Empowering the community through art, one exhibition at a time
Our Mission
Founded in 2016, Residency Art Gallery stands as a beacon of contemporary art in the heart of South Central Los Angeles. Our purpose? To display the stories and artistic expressions of local artists of color, fostering meaningful conversations around identity, history, and resilience within our community.
Celebrating Artistic Voices
Our gallery celebrates the rich tapestry of contemporary art created by artists who reside in and around Los Angeles. We showcase their multifaceted narratives, exploring themes that resonate deeply with our community's unique experiences. These artists dare to challenge existing narratives, reimagining the boundaries of artistic expression.
A Platform for Dialogue
We believe art transcends boundaries, sparking vital conversations around social, cultural, and political issues. Therefore, we host regular discussions, workshops, and dialogues that encourage dialogue between artists, activists, and the community. These dialogues foster a space for critical reflection, fostering a greater understanding of the complex issues facing our world.
Beyond the Main Gallery
Our commitment to fostering artistic accessibility extends beyond the main gallery walls. We actively support and collaborate with various arts collectives, non-profit organizations, and local artists through our Project Space site. This platform provides a space for showcasing diverse artistic expressions, fostering collaboration, and amplifying the voices of marginalized artists.
