FORM 990, PART 111, LINE 4A- PROGRAM SER
The vitality and programs of the 18th Street Arts Center (18SAC) are based on the belief that exceptional talent deserves to be fostered. Founded in 1988, 18SAC is a hub for artistic innovation that actively nurtures and promotes the work of contemporary artists from around the globe, from all disciplines at various career stages. Through its multi-tiered residency program, 18SAC provides artists with a center for artistic creation, innovation, collaboration and growth.18th Street Arts Center is internationally recognized as the largest and longest-running artist residency program in Southern California. Through artist residencies, exhibitions, print publications, new media platforms and public events 18SAC has served over six thousand California-based American artists in the development of new work and hosted more than 350 international artists-in-residence from 46 countries since the organization was founded, twenty-five years ago. By providing space, time, financial support, and visibility, 18SACs artist residency programs provide important support and context for artists to experiment and create new works that advance important global contemporary art trends.Today, 18SAC engages over 50 local and international artists annually, offering a variety of residencies that can range from one month to one year. The Visiting Artist residencies provide over 25 international artists live-in studios from one to four months and over 18 LA artists have live-in and day studios for one year or more. These studios are subsidized by 18SAC. The campus is comprised of five buildings, covering 30,000 square feet that also houses several cultural organizations that uniquely add to the vibrancy of the 18SAC and often serve as collaborative partners. These tenants include: California Lawyers for the Arts, Continuum Movement, EZTV, Highways Performance Space and Otis College of Art and Designs Master of Fine Arts Public Practice Program. Internationally recognized for its leadership and vision in the artist residency field, 18SAC is distinguished for supporting artists with diverse practices from around the world that use the full range of artistic disciplines to convey their socially relevant ideas. Among the many acclaimed artists that 18SAC has hosted are: Guillermo Gomez Pena (Mexico), Basim Alansar (Iraq), Jakub Czyszczon (Poland), Lucia Koch (Brazil), Tina Morton (USA), Leander Dijonne (Norway), Tomeka Reid (USA), Alexandra Croitoru (Romania), Liao Chi-Yu (Taiwan), Tim Portlock (USA), Michiko Yao (Japan), Ahn Sungseok ( South Korea), Chris Fox (Austrailia), Shahid Nadeem (Pakistan), Lita Albuqquerque (USA), Dana Yahalomi (Israel), Michelle Dizon (USA), Eamon Ore-Giron (USA), Ivan Argote and Pualine Bastard(France) and Alexandra Grant (USA).To engage and educate our public in evolving contemporary artist practices, 18SAC commissions new artwork and curatorial research from rising LA-based artists and curators and presents it in an array of free experimental programs throughout the year. The Artist Lab exhibition series and Curator-in-Residence program are both key strategies by which 18SAC fulfills its mission to provoke public dialog through contemporary art-making. Designed to identify and support emergent LA-based art producers at pivotal points in their development, 18SACs commissions directly help the artist or curator to reach international audiences, starting in LA with their ideas via invitations to participate in conferences, art fairs, museum and gallery shows around the globe.The 18th Street Arts Center is a vibrant cultural institution serving a global constituency. 18SAC serves over 8,000 visitors annually. 18SACs 1.25-acre campus is located in Santa Monica, CA, an important arts nucleus that includes nearby Bergamot Station Arts Center, which draws thousands of collectors, art enthusiasts, scholars and artists annually. It is situated within a few miles of thriving Culver City arts scene as well. The 18th Street Arts Center is a tax-exempt, 501(c)3 organization generously supported by its Board of Directors, individuals and corporate donors, private and corporate foundations, and government agencies. A corpus of over 50 dedicated volunteers support 18SACs visitor services, programs, and administrative functions.
