With support from the California Arts Council, LA Artcore will be enabled to continue to evolve its mission of, “…reflecting the global perspectives of Los Angeles by engaging contemporary artists as the visual and performing conduits of and for the residents and communities in which they live, work, and serve.” Following the organization’s first leadership transition since its founding in 1979, in 2019 with a staff of one, LA Artcore continues to build urgently-needed capacity to carry out its exhibit and community programs sustainably. While steadily amassing significant and diverse funding support, LA Artcore hired its first ever Systems Administrator role this spring which has positively impacted the organization’s communications of its community vision. The hiring of a Program Coordinator is the next critically-needed role to provide on-the-ground-support to its exhibits and community outreach.
LA Artcore produces year-round community-centered curated visual art exhibits, weekly adults arts educational community workshops, and its ongoing partnership with the Little Tokyo Service Center’s Mi CASA youth afterschool program, where it conducts weekly arts workshops for the community’s low income youth residents.
