Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Clockshop will use funding to underwrite the salaries of our highly-trained Artistic Project Director and Curatorial Associate due to the diminishing availability of arts funding at the local and federal levels. Both have significant experience working with artists on commission and in public space, and have training in equity and accessibility measures for presenting contemporary art to broad audiences and in collaboration with community. They also have formed deep relationships with our Parks partners and local neighborhood organizations and the arts community, which are crucial to presenting rigorous, ambitious, and accessible contemporary art in public spaces.
Organization Summary
As a Los Angeles-based arts and culture nonprofit, Clockshop produces free public programming and commissions contemporary artist projects on public land to better connect Angelenos to the land we live on.
We address the climate crisis as a cultural problem that requires equitable cultural solutions. Through long-term collaborations with artists, like-minded partners, and local stakeholders, Clockshop promotes ecological stewardship and climate resilience among the communities we serve.
Our projects center working-class communities of color in Los Angeles and aim to support the wellbeing and vitality of multiple communities. Whether Indigenous, African American, Latinx, Asian American, Pacific Islander, or immigrants living in LA, we shape the city’s future together.
We bring this mission to our work at Los Angeles State Historic Park in Chinatown, and Rio de Los Angeles State Park (“The Bowtie”) in Glassell Park, in collaboration with California State Parks.
