Are you ready for the new semester at artworxLA?

Jan 31

artworxLA is Back in Session

This semester artworxLA is proud to partner with the Fowler Museum at UCLA to explore how our students can approach healing from multiple worldviews through the arts. As students express themselves and create their own stories of healing throughout the semester, they will experiment with a diversity of art forms to develop a personal way of storytelling. Their work will be in dialogue with the exhibition Myrlande Constant: The Work of Radiance, the first U.S. museum exhibition devoted to the work of a Haitian female contemporary artist.

Stay tuned to our newsletter and social media accounts as we share our students' progress throughout the semester, and join us in-person in late May for our students' culminating presentations at the Fowler Museum.
