Currency Exchange (CXLA) - Art & Community Center

Currency Exchange is a neighborhood-first arts and community center rooted on Washington Blvd. in Mid-City Los Angeles that creates space for community to practice & integrate the exchange of alternative cultural currency.

#### Born from the evolution of DMST Atelier, Currency Exchange expands the role of the traditional gallery into something broader: a neighborhood resource.

CXLA offers an art gallery, artist residency and supportive programming as a bridge between artists, neighbors and the residents of the affordable housing community above the gallery. 

#### While art remains the central tool, our identity extends beyond exhibitions and cultural programming and is defined by an enduring commitment to advocate for the current needs of the neighborhood.
