Artist-Muse strives to be a bridge between people who feel art is out of their grasp to experienced, passionate collectors, and back to the artists themselves. Our goal is to connect individuals to a thriving art community in which they are permitted to enjoy relationships and ideas, and experience art in environments outside of the typical art gallery. Our events are cutting-edge “found-space” art shows designed to exhibit emerging and professional artists’ works. We are active advocates of arts and culture and aspire to be an instrument of social and economic development in Los Angeles and beyond.
