We do a lot of stuff. A lot. We bring locals together through boundary-pushing arts events and highly collaborative, ensemble-driven productions. We fill our casts with people who are not merely interested in performing, but in creating and imagining. We do not have passive spectators; our community is interested in sharing the experience of art and imaginations with one another.

We look to empower both experienced and emerging artists by providing inspirational opportunities to create and perform diverse, affordable workshops and dynamic venues to meet and engage with like-minded visionaries. We believe that a community alive with art will thrive through conversation, understanding, and progress. Art conversing with people conversing with people conversing with art.

We are cARTel: Collaborative Arts L.A.
