About the Business
18th Street Arts Center is one of the top 20 artist residency programs in the US. 18th Street encourages contemporary artists from around the globe to create new work within a supportive environment. We provide artists the space and time to take risks in ways that further the development of their practice.
Our mission is to provoke public dialogue through contemporary art-making. We believe that the creative process is just as important as the outcome. Through our artist residencies we are a contemporary art hub that fosters inter-cultural collaboration and dialogue.
18th Street's residencies, exhibitions, public events, talks, and publications encourage, showcase and support the creation of cutting-edge contemporary art, and foster collaboration and interaction between artists locally, nationally, and internationally.

- Founded in 1988, 18th Street Arts Center has fostered and supported the work of many of Los Angeles' and the world's most engaging and diverse artists. 18th Street provides a hub for contemporary art through two program areas: 1) A three-tiered Residency Program that fosters inter-cultural collaboration and dialogue and 2) A Public Events and Exhibition Program that focuses on revealing the art-making process through exhibitions, events, talks, and publications. Our Residency Program has long-term residencies for mentoring artists and 'anchor' organizations; mid-term residencies of 3 years to advance California artists' careers; and short-term residencies, for national and international visiting artists and curators who live at 18th Street for 1-3 months. The Public Events and Exhibition Program encompasses our signature Artist Labs series, a new Moveable Lab series exploring engagement in the public sphere, and presentations of emerging artists in our Atrium Gallery.
