Artists volunteer.

The Art of Elysium pairs volunteer artists with fragile communities in Los Angeles motivated by a belief that artistic practice in the context of public service is a powerful catalyst for social change. Volunteer artists deliver tailor-made programs at hospitals, community centers, senior-care facilities, schools and homeless shelters.

We support our artists.

Giving back to volunteer artists is a core piece of the Art of Elysium's full circle approach. We support emerging artists through a variety of Artist Services in each of our major disciplines. Services range from industry salons and meet and greets, to financing and distribution awards.
