Promoting Art in Public Life.
What We Do
Art affects every aspect of public life from appliance design to zebra print textiles.
Through the publication of our zine, “Abyss,” and regular community events, we showcase artists using the combined power of the Collective to promote their work.
Additionally, through donations and grants we aim to develop a studio space for artist residencies, mentorships, and as a base of operations for classes and group projects that can positively impact the world.
We believe our cause is worthy, and that it will succeed.
Who We Are
We are a nonprofit cooperative of artists seeking to advance the practice and appreciation of the arts through education, activities and partnerships. We are an official 501(c)3 public benefit, tax-exempt organization, recognized by the IRS and State of California.
