MISSION
LA Artcore is a non-profit art space dedicated to the creative exploration, discovery, and expression of Los Angeles and global residents while supporting the careers of established and emerging contemporary artists.
Since 1979, LA Artcore mounted twenty-four exhibits in two gallery spaces and supporting programs. The gallery reflects Los Angeles' global and local perspectives through contemporary artists’ visual and performing work. We aim to uplift creative voices who demonstrate impact, creative risk taking, quality, dedication, and community involvement.
LA Artcore commits to cultivating an environment that values the voices of artists, curators, staff, volunteers, visitors, and its surrounding community/ecology. This includes the diversity of all identities - including but not limited to race, gender, sexuality, socio-economic background, and ability. This endeavor toward programming a space that reflects its values remains continuous and expansive. Through collaboration and radical learning, LA Artcore openly shifts the curatorial and programmatic vision in order to meet this goal.
Additionally, this space is honored to operate within the Little Tokyo Historic District and Japanese American National Historic Landmark District. Located in the Union Center of the Arts, LA Artcore intends to respect and acknowledge the precarious history of the historic Little Tokyo community. The gallery strives to conserve its elaborate, decade-long history through mutually shared community involvement and support. Also, this gallery acknowledges that it operates on the native land of the Tongva tribe. LA Artcore strives to listen, learn, and amplify local and Indigenous narratives who contribute to the cultural fabric of Los Angeles by highlighting these voices in our programming, exhibitions, and community outreach.
LA Artcore proudly champions equity through inclusion and accessibility. Our team is committed to ensuring accessibility for all. The gallery provides wheelchair accessibility, designated parking spaces, and welcomes service animals. The website aims to follow WCAG guidelines.
LA Artcore welcomes feedback to help meet our goals. To reach us, please contact us at info@laartcore.org.
