Founded in 2015, Contemporary Art Review Los Angeles (Carla) is a Los Angeles-based nonprofit organization and publishing platform that is dedicated to providing inclusive perspectives on contemporary art. Publishing in both print and online, Carla is an active source of critical dialogue on L.A.’s art community; the magazine serves as a centralized space for art writing that is bold, honest, approachable, and focused on the here and now. By covering artists from an array of backgrounds and career levels, platforming both emerging and established writers, and working to keep our language and distribution channels as accessible as possible, Carla is on a mission to change what gets written about, who does that writing, and who that writing reaches.

“Our granting program recognizes the equal importance of small, community-oriented spaces, major museums, and everything in between. Together, and with the foundation’s support, they work to collectively amplify the voices and visions of artists, which deepens and diversifies the national cultural discourse.”
