Art Share was founded in 1997 by Chip Austin Hunter as an affordable housing project and community arts center. For many years it operated with primary interest in serving the inner city and East LA youth through after schools art classes. Past programs have included BLAST (Building Language Arts Skills Together), FACT (Families and Communities Together) and a variety of free classes in dance, visual arts, music and recording arts. The organization suffered greatly during the recession and as a result, all employees and programs (except for FACT) were suspended in 2011. Building maintenance had been neglected and the organization was near collapse. The board worked tirelessly to bring the building back to life and maintain our residential program. New leadership was put into place and outreach efforts were made to re-establish positive relations between community partners. Art Share was reborn the summer of 2012--the building was repainted, the logo rebranded and new programs and new initiatives are in place.

Since opening in 2007, The Box’s mission has been to create a diverse art program surveying historical artists and their contemporaries. By exhibiting artists of multiple generations, the gallery has established a discursive critical voice in addressing and viewing varying perspectives of art within the larger context of contemporary artistic practices. Covering a time span of nearly five decades, our artists have dealt with the historical elements that have been integral to the development of art today. Whereas younger artists supply a fresh mode of thinking, artists belonging to past generations provide a historical basis in which to contextualize the expansive development of art today. We are interested in working with artists who think in an unconventional way about the expansion of art’s definition through artists’ questioning of space and spatial boundaries, artist responsibility, and the movement of art out of the traditional gallery space. The Box showcases, as well as commissions emerging contemporary work with artists who work using variety of mediums including but not limited to painting, sculpture, dance, video, film, performance and musical performances. Working with and alongside living artists creates unique opportunities for both the gallery and the artists to explore new modes of curating. We believe that by broadening the scope of art shown, viewers are encouraged to think about art more liberally, to explore their own boundaries. Many of our represented artists have had limited formal recognition by mainstream art institutions. We believe that not only to these artists deserve to be shown, the viewers of Los Angeles deserve to see this work. Influential exhibitions include Wally Hedrick’s socio-political “War Room” (2008), the Los Angeles Poverty Department’s “Skid Row History Museum,” John Altoon’s “Drawings 1962-68” (2008) and Barbara T Smith’s “Field Piece” (2008). We are fortunate to have seen our artists such as Judith Bernstein, Simone Forti, John Altoon, and Barbara T Smith achieve greater visibility and critical success, both in the US and internationally, since exhibiting their work at the Box. The Box’s programming creates a unique environment that encourages viewers to discuss the work they see. Events range from video and film screenings, panel discussions, open forum discussions, lectures and performances that are specific to the coinciding exhibition. In many cases these events create a casual social space where the viewer is welcomed in the artists’ investigative properties of process, matter, and procedure. The importance of such diverse programming lies in the assertion that what is important are not the answers given, but the questions asked. Most importantly, the Box remain committed to the idea that the responsibility of the gallery is that of curator, editor, collaborator, cultural critic, and at times artwork co-producer, in creating a dynamic system to present and reinterpret artwork through its exhibitionary platform.
From its inception, as a not for profit organization, Artcore has dedicated itself to the task of finding and exposing artists locally and internationally whose work shows dedication, excellence and originality. Artcore focuses on artists of all walks of life spurring the creativity of both emerging and established artists. Artcore's operative word has always been "opportunity," both for the artists, and for the community to have access to art. Artcore is committed to its mission of making art accessible without the constraints of the market economy. As such it exercises freedom of choice based strictly on quality and contribution to the community. One of our strategies is to expand contact between visual artists regionally and internationally by seeking the artists’ involvement in our vision. Another strategy is to draw increasingly diverse audiences from the widest possible spectrum of our community. Mature developed artists will establish year-round art programs and workshops designed for children, youth and adults to discover visual arts and its core values.
Autonomie is an organic space for experimental projects in the arts. As a non-profit gallery our goal is to promote community building by cultivating an ongoing dialog about the arts with people from different economic, political and cultural backgrounds. Invitations to show at Autonomie are offered on a rotating basis to those individuals or collectives engaged in producing critical interventions in the field of contemporary art. Accepting the opportunity to show at Autonomie is only for individuals or groups that openly welcome questions about the context of their work, the general trajectory of their overture and the goals of their artistic practice. As such, Autonomie doesn't favor any particular medium or set of aesthetic criteria - all types of production are encouraged from the most immaterial of actions to every form of object based production.
