About:

Join the founders of Coaxial Arts, Black Image Center, and the Feminist Center for Creative Work for a conversation moderated by MFA candidate and organizer Nathan Cheung about artist-run spaces, and the power of creative communities in Los Angeles. In a time of shifting institutional priorities and challenges to equity, these organizations show how artists can build intentional connection, care, and resilience that fosters community outside traditional structures. Hear their stories of successes, struggles, and strategies for sustaining vibrant, inclusive creative spaces.
