LACE is the longest-running non-profit contemporary art space in Los Angeles that both champions and challenges the art of our time by fostering artists who innovate, explore, and risk. LACE moves within and beyond four walls to provide opportunities for diverse publics to engage deeply with contemporary art. In doing so, LACE furthers dialogue and participation between and among artists and those audiences.

“Our grantees range from small arts organizations with one staff member to major museums, yet they all provide essential resources for artists as well as innovative platforms for critical cultural dialogue. Creative risk-taking is at the heart of this country’s most meaningful social, political, and cultural developments, therefore we are proud to stand behind artist-centered organizations that support experimental practice.”
