Freewaves facilitates cross-cultural dialogues, in innovative formats at established and unconventional venues in Los Angeles and online.

Freewaves serves audiences throughout Los Angeles County and beyond with a mixture of local and international art.

Freewaves promotes innovative and people-centered cultural engagement through project-specific platforms – multiple, scalable, online, at established and nontraditional venues.

The organization has built a large online archive.

Freewaves was founded in 1989 to address issues of artistic invention and social justice by curating, showing and establishing contexts for artists to engage the public. In “Out the Window’, Freewaves worked with neighborhood art groups for 3 years to present alternative media replied to by the one million people who ride L.A. Metro buses each day. The people of Greater Los Angeles answered poetic questions with text messages about videos from their wildly diverse perspectives.
