Ignite Arts & STEM invites you to the 2026 Mentors & Mimosas — an afternoon opening reception celebrating the original works of BIPOC student artists from our Greater Los Angeles programs. This year, we're bringing the exhibition to one of West Adams' most respected gallery spaces, because these young artists deserve to be seen in a room built for exactly that.

Walk the gallery. Meet the artists. Hear their stories directly from them.
