EXPANDING POSSIBILITIES

transforming lives

Our Mission

To ignite, expand, and transform the lives of Los Angeles’ low-income youth through photography and film education, and use our participatory storytelling practices to amplify the voices of underrepresented communities around the world.

A 2023 California NonProfit of the Year

Venice Arts has impacted my life because it has made me more open to trying new things. I have also become a more confident person and have realized that art is all around me. Venice Arts has given me tools I can use to express myself and I am very thankful for that.
