Teapot Gardens is a small non-profit led by artists established in 2020 to foster a lifestyle of creation in paradise. We advocate for access to outdoor art education for communities of color in severely disadvantaged park neighborhoods like central LA. We share stories, traditions and foodways of minority cultures led by culture bearers. We co-create with our community to strengthen trust and build ownership pathways.
Our purpose is to build a local creative economy that shares, supports, and spotlights the gifts of artists. We program community events in gardens because we believe in the power of paradise to unlock creativity and promote mental well-being. We invite BIPOC families to engage in free hands-on arts and culture workshops. We open our garden to artists to inspire and encourage collaboration. We believe that art, play, and unity can be experienced when we gather in nature and let our spirits run wild. Teapot Gardens is a symbol of simple abundance, much like a giving tree. We model healthy ways of collective regeneration when we create, care, and connect with nature and give back to our community.
