Our Mission

Free Arts uses art to restore hope, resiliency and self-esteem in children in Los Angeles ages 5-18 who have experienced abuse, poverty, neglect and/or homelessness. The mission, values, and purpose of Free Arts focus on uplifting those most impacted by injustice and inequity in our community. We remain steadfast in this work while continually examining what more we can do, to not only provide services, but to dismantle the structures and systems that stand in the way of equality, inclusion, and opportunity for every single member of society. We seek to create a diverse community of inclusion, cultural awareness and acceptance using art as a vehicle and uniting force.

Art Swagger LA

Art Swagger fuses design, art, and the act of giving back through a single evening each year. The event has been drawing the Los Angeles A&D community closer since 2011. It has grown to become one of Free Arts’ most impactful fundraisers, with dozens of supporting firms and hundreds of professionals participating.
