ART IN MOTION EXHIBITION
Art in Motion celebrates local artists, creativity, and the power of art to connect, heal, and build community.
Join us for an evening celebrating creativity, connection, and community at the Art in Motion Exhibition. This showcase features artists from Painted Brain’s Art in Motion workshop series, presenting work that reflects their personal journeys, creative growth, and evolving artistic identities.
Throughout the night, participating creatives will not only share their work, but also speak on the importance of art as a tool for building community, fostering connection, and supporting healing and self-expression.
Art in Motion began as a 6-part workshop series designed to provide accessible, professional creative tools for individuals interested in expanding their artistic practices and careers. From exploring art and recovery to branding, portfolio development, and creative career pathways, the series centered the idea that art is always evolving—just like the people who create it.
This exhibition is a continuation of that journey—bringing the work off the page and into a shared space where stories, voices, and experiences can be seen, heard, and celebrated.
Come support local artists, connect with the community, and experience the movement.
When: May 15 | 6PM – 9PM
Where: Painted Brain Community Center (3350 W 1st st, Los Angeles, CA 90004)
