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.

“It is an honor to be part of The Warhol Foundation’s mission to support the visual arts coupled with its commitment to specifically support the voices of women, POC, Native Americans, and LGBTQ. It is simply thrilling to be part of an organization where we get to see these values writ large and implement real change in real life ways in the visual arts community that still so needs to move forward in terms of social justice, equality, and diversity. We put our money where our mouth is. How many institutions actually do that?”
