Artists play a vital role in creating social change. . .

We are excited to document the journey of visual and performing artists from Los Angeles County communities who have been left behind, ignored and underserved for decades. By telling the LA story through public art we hope to start a dialogue with all of you about where we’ve been, where we are and where we want to go next. The truth is, a broken system is no longer tolerable.

“Art and rebellion often go hand-in-hand and redefinition is often accompanied by creation.”
