18th Street Art Center’s mission is to provoke public dialogue through contemporary art-making, with the belief that the creative process is just as important as the outcome, and that artists contribute to a vibrant, healthy, and just society. Through the Foundation’s Make Jazz Fellowship, one Jazz musician is selected annually for a three-month residency during which he/she has space and time to compose new work and showcase their unique talents throughout the vibrant Los Angeles Jazz scene.
Listed below are the organizations and programs that we have supported over the past two years. We invite you to learn more about them by visiting their individual websites.
