About us
Welcome to Culver city Art Oasis!
We gather creatives, curious neighbors, and anyone who simply enjoys being around creative energy. Some come to show work. Some come to think. Some come to sip tea and look at something strange on a wall.
Los Angeles can feel scattered. This is a soft landing spot.
We host intimate exhibitions, studio visits, experimental performances, tea gatherings, and casual conversations inside real working art spaces. You don’t need to “get it.” You just need to show up.
Come curious. Leave inspired. Or at least pleasantly surprised.
Join us in creating a space where art and creativity thrive!

Program Line-upCuratorial Statement (excerpt):
The exhibition title, “Terminal Island,” takes its name from the nearby industrial port landscape – a site of arrival, transit, and transformation, citing its history of incarceration, violence, labour, and migration. Across two April afternoons, we move from collective performance (Day 1) to a literal hot pot/melting point (Day 2). The hot pot is not a metaphor but an action: strangers sharing broth, cooking together, reaching across a table. Heat is the common element – in performance labor, in boiling soup, in April sun over San Pedro.1 attendee
