18th Street Arts Center COVID-19 Response and Artist Resources
July 2, 2020: Due to a spike in coronavirus cases in many California counties, including LA, Governor Gavin Newsom has ordered all museums and galleries (along with other indoor venues) to close for at least the next three weeks.
Therefore, 18th Street Arts Center must once again close our doors. Protecting our staff, artists, and visitors are of utmost importance, and we will reopen once it is safe to do so.
In the meantime, we have exciting exhibitions opening online soon, brand-new exhibitions pages for our current shows so you can explore the them online, and we have lots of fantastic new content every week on our 18@Home and Arts Learning Lab @ Home channels.
