Collection: The Ellsworth Artist Residency Alumni Gallery

The Ellsworth Artist Residency aims to empower artists at different stages of their careers to connect, learn, and evolve together. Art Share L.A. values our ongoing connection with alumni of the program, recognizing their experience and expertise as valuable assets to the artistic community. Artists who have completed one rotation of residency are invited back to share their insights and artistic journeys with current residents and participate in critiques that foster collaboration and knowledge-sharing. 

The newly dedicated Ellsworth Artist Residency Alumni Gallery is a space for continued engagement, where former residents can showcase their artistic development and contribute to the vibrant artistic dialogue within the Art Share L.A. residency network and the broader community.
