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.

“The Foundation’s commitment to supporting artists by funding the institutions that incubate, encourage, exhibit and critically engage their work is unwavering. Non-profit arts organizations face profound challenges due to the political, economic, social and cultural upheavals of our current moment. At the same time, and more than ever, artists need the supportive community and creative encouragement that these organizations provide.”
Joel Wachs, President
