LAXART is a nonprofit visual art space that promotes developments in contemporary culture through exhibitions, publications, and public programs. Launched in 2005 as a platform for emerging and under-recognized talent, LAXART has expanded its mission to encompass thematic exhibitions that engage with key issues of our time. We believe that contemporary art is a means of understanding those issues, with all their inherent contradictions. Contemporary art assumes many forms. Rather than provide answers, it raises questions. Through a range of offerings, we contextualize contemporary art both socially and art historically. Our programs are free and designed to be accessible to the general public.
LAXART received programmatic support for Life on Earth: Art and Ecofeminism, a multi-faceted exhibition of fifteen international artists and collectives working at the intersections of feminism, ecology, sustainability, and activism, which is accompanied by a scholarly publication and a robust series of related public programs.
