The Brick (formerly known as LAXART), is a nonprofit visual art space that promotes developments in contemporary culture through exhibitions, publications, and public programs. The Brick holds the belief that contemporary art is a means of understanding key issues of our time with all their inherent contradictions. Through a range of offerings, The Brick contextualizes contemporary art both socially and art historically. Programs are free and open to the public.

Since its founding in 2005 The Brick has realized over 400 projects, characterized by newly commissioned artworks and solo projects in its gallery and public spaces. The Brick has made significant contributions to Southern California culture through partnerships with the Getty—to co-produce the Pacific Standard Time Performance and Public Art Festival in 2012 and the exhibition Video Art in Latin America in 2017—and the Hammer Museum—to co-organize Made in L.A. 2012, the city’s first biennial.
