LA COMMONS

OUR MISSION is to engage communities in artistic and cultural expression that tells their unique stories and serves as the basis for dialogue, collaboration, activism and empowerment. We create powerful art, powerful connections, powerful communities. www.lacommons.org/

WE BELIEVE

CULTURE is an essential community resource. All communities possess local knowledge and local assets.

PEOPLE have the power to help meet the challenges facing our neighborhoods, through our connections to the place and with each other.

ARTISTS have a leadership role to play in community development. ART is a powerful tool, to share stories and create change.

YOUTH are vital participants in community development, their energy, hope, and creativity transcend the limitations of the past to envision new futures
