Barnsdall Arts

Cotsen master residency is an endowed program conducted every 2 to 3 years with a celebrated artist.

Project silver lining is a holistic, multi-disciplinary project incorporating yoga, mindfulness training, film, and visual arts. The program is structured to work with at-risk youth and introduce them to the arts as effective means to access their own voices, to transform their attitudes and to envision their future. Personal development, trust, respect, and social responsibility are at the core of this project.

Party is a program that provides children art workshops at birthday parties.

Barnsdall arts sundays are free family art workshops conducted weekly throughout the year at barsdall art park. Each workshop is centered on global culture. All materials are provided.

Exhibitions are an integral part of our mission to celebrate art in our community. We feature our unique UNESCO International Collection of Child Art, as well as the work produced in our classes and workshops, in numerous exhibits throughout the year. Many of our programs, like LAs BEST and Project Ragan, culminate in on-site displays. The Main Concourse at Kaiser-Sunset Hospital is our primary exhibition site. We install two exhibits annually. Since the building opened in 2009, hundreds of thousands of people have viewed our installations there. We also feature student work at our studio during the semi-annual Brewery Art Walks. In the past our ICAC and student work have been displayed at the Bridge Gallery in LA City Hall, the Pasadena Civic Center, and Childrens Hospital as well as in other corporate and civic institutions.

Festival and Special Events Program offers children and family art workshops community-wide. We have participated at: Brewery Art Walk, Hollywood Arts Council Festival of Children, Oaks Neighborhood Picnic, Silverlake Jewish Community Center Fair, Natural History Museum,USC pacific Asian Museum and various street fairs.
