Water & Power is a community space and artist collective that provides exhibition experience for youth and older artists who haven’t had the opportunity to present work publicly. Founded due to the lack of institutional and familial support for our underserved South LA queer, youth and elder community, we facilitate community gatherings through organizing exhibitions, performances, live music and peer led workshops.
By bringing community together through the arts, and creating career and educational opportunities for our peers that aren’t being offered by major institutions, we combat the crises of stratified community through creating moments of connection, celebration, and joy.
