Founded in 2016, Residency Art Gallery is one of very few Black-owned commercial art galleries created with the purpose of serving LA's communities of color. At Residency Art Gallery, we celebrate contemporary artists that continue to make projects for their own communities. The artists exhibited at Residency tell multifaceted stories that speak directly to our community’s history, identity and resilience. Yet, often the stories are engulfed and misappropriated within the predominantly White, affluent and largely inaccessible art spaces in other regions of the city. The simple question that needed answering was, “How can work made by artists of color be seen by the intended audience in their own neighborhoods?”
