We are a Queer-led, grassroots art collective uplifting artists from Southeast Los Angeles County.

What We Do

MONTHLY WORKSHOPSWe host hands-on art sessions that spark joy, memory, and possibility. No experience needed—just curiosity.

COMMUNITY EVENTSFrom open mics to art festivals, we reclaim suburban spaces to create and come together. 

ARTIST NETWORKWe gather as artists on a hyperlocal level to reshape our environments to be more inclusive and colorful. Community-building means starting with our neighbors here at home. 



Where We Work


We are based in Whittier with connections across our neighboring so-called Gateway Cities of Santa Fe Springs, Pico Rivera, La Mirada, and Norwalk.

While, we prioritize hyperlocal events, we see ourselves as part of the larger fabric of the arts & cultural scenes of Southern California, from L.A. to O.C. and the I.E.

We are always open to new members, projects, and partners. Drop us a line to connect or join our next virtual meeting. 


We are fiscally sponsored by The Hack Foundation (d.b.a. Hack Club), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. EIN: 81-2908499
