On The Horizon

Transformation Arts wants to counteract the hurdles of gentrification by implementing restorative justice principles with arts that bring together a wide range of ethnically, economically, and socially diverse communities throughout Los Angeles.

Bringing Art to the Community

Bringing art led events to places where creativity is not usually sparked – such as laundromats, churches, hair salons and parking lots – we will be able to empower marginalized communities with art that inspires open dialogue and change through action.

Collaboration with the Disability Community

Transformation Arts will also implement a program to create jobs and wealth for members of the disability community.  Classes for professional development would help give disabled artists the tools necessary to create a career out of artistry.  The courses would seek to target the development of fine arts, marketing, and commercial skills.

We will also offer drop in and day classes specifically for members of the disability community who are interested in the arts.  Lastly, we would set up store fronts - both online and brick and mortar - to give these artists a place to conduct professional sales.
