We congratulate Abby Lee (@__abigaillee) on the completion of her Media Internship through Emerson College, Los Angeles (@emersonlosangeles)! Abby contributed to our marketing and communications strategies, and supported our signature LACE Emerging Curator program by creating a promotional video that highlights its 10th anniversary.

“As I wrap up my internship at LACE, I am deeply appreciative of having been able to learn about the behind-the-scenes work of this nonprofit art gallery. I joined the team as a media intern this fall, focusing specifically on communications. Within my role, I contributed to social media and newsletter marketing and also documented LACE’s public programs through photography and videography. I additionally worked on a semester-long project creating a promotional video for LACE’s Emerging Curator program that celebrates its 10th anniversary and provides information about the program. This project involved filming several in-person and virtual interviews with past emerging curators and culminated in a 5-minute video that will go on LACE’s website.

This internship has been incredibly valuable in helping me further develop my digital communications and media production skills. It’s also just been a very fun experience learning from LACE’s wonderful team and exploring the art scene in L.A. Special thanks to my supervisor, Camille, and Sarah, Juan, and Selene for a great semester at LACE!”

We wish her the best in all her future endeavors! ✨

📣 We are thrilled to share that LACE has received generous support from the Ruth Foundation for the Arts (@ruthfoundationforthearts) and the California Community Foundation (@calfund)!

As a 2024 Core Grant recipient from the Ruth Foundation for the Arts, LACE joins 90 arts and cultural organizations nationwide in receiving vital operating funds to support creativity, experimentation, and access in the arts.

Additionally, through a two-year core operating grant from the California Community Foundation, we’re excited to continue producing curatorial and creative programs in LA County. This support advances meaningful pathways into the creative economy for individuals from BIPOC and queer communities, aligning with CCF’s arts and culture strategy.

We are grateful for these awards and look forward to continuing our work fostering innovative and inclusive arts programming!
