About the Avenue 50 Studio:

Avenue 50 Studio is an arts presentation organization grounded in
Latin@
Chican@ culture. Our monthly shows principally exhibit artists of
color who
display a high quality of work, and who have not been represented in
mainstream galleries. We seek to build bridges of cultural
understanding
through artistic expressions. Using content-driven art to educate and
to
stimulate intercultural understanding, we build relationships and
collaborations with artists and communities. Our twelve year track
record of
over 300 shows in the Northeast LA area has ranged from international
exchange exhibits to presenting Asian and African American artists in
a
largely Latino community. The art openings are a testament to the mix
of
cultures, national origins, and races that make up metro LA and our
Highland
Park neighborhood. We feel the showing of multicultural arts on a
monthly
basis in a working class community can go a long way in educating
people to
the importance of diverse art in our lives. Along with this, Avenue 50
Studio is a center for cultural activities with workshops in art,
spoken
word and other creative forms of expression. Our community gathers
around
the exhibits and poetry readings. We are constantly evolving and our
goal is
to continue the exhibition and spoken word presentations.
