Active Cultures offers programming in three concentric tiers: Member and Community Programs, Public Projects, and Large-Scale Community Events. Our year-round projects provide opportunities for deep collaborations with artists over time, building public programming that centers broad and diverse artistic practice and prioritizes direct engagement with Los Angeles audiences. We embrace the concept of radical hospitality to inspire curiosity and feed empathy, while gathering communities to experience art accessibly with intention and conviviality. We operate in the public sphere to deepen our relationships to land and food, and we uplift Los Angeles as a vital hub of the international art and food movement. Food is the essential lens through which we examine fundamental questions about power, cultural expression, history, equity, climate futures, and ourselves.
