Envision the Future of LA: Join or Host a Story Circle
Artists and Communities Working Together for Change
Art is a critical tool to bring underground community stories to light and shift to a societal narrative that values everyone, not only the wealthy and powerful.
Based on our powerful storytelling process, we plan a multiplatform campaign
led by artists and youth to create a vision for a post-crisis city where everyone thrives.
We will engage the transformative power of arts and culture to advance equity
in our communities and our city.
We invite you to be part of the visioning and artmaking process by:
Sharing your stories and vision in a story circle
Joining as a youth artist, youth mentor, artist or apprentice artist
Becoming a media, advocacy, or funding partner
Joining the planning, organizing and peer fundraising teams
Sharing the campaign with your networks
Making a donation
Phase I - Fall 2020
Building campaign team, designing process, and fundraising
Phase II - Winter 2021
Sharing stories to explore and develop a vision for our next L.A.
Phase III - Spring 2021
Artistically rendering our stories and vision as an inspired call to action
Phase IV - Begin Summer 2021
Creative advocacy and organizing to shape an evolved city based on
our vision for the next L.A.
Join us to advance equity in our communities and our city and engage the power of arts and culture to make transformative change. Your contribution will help shape the future of L.A.!
