Venice Arts

Founded in 1993, Venice Arts mission is to ignite, expand, and transform the lives of Los Angeles’ low-income youth through photography and film education, and to use our participatory storytelling practices to amplify the voices of underrepresented communities around the world.

Our programs teach young people how to use the camera to find their voice, establish self-representation and to share their world through visual storytelling.

In addition to our programs for Los Angeles area youth, Venice Arts host documentary-themed exhibitions, film screenings, and public programs at its gallery, and consults with nonprofit organizations, academic institutions, and foundations–locally and globally–on participatory photography and filmmaking projects, as well as on its award-winning media arts education pedagogy.
