CultureHub

🍹Crack a cold one with us and celebrate CultureHub, our community of artists and the start of summer. This Wednesday in our studio, we’re hosting a pool party themed fundraiser from 6-8pm (with no actual pool, but festive attire is encouraged.)

🛟 We’re raising funds to keep CultureHub afloat. Enjoy pool side snacks, play water themed games and enter the CultureHub raffle for a chance to take home a new axolotl friend.

🐡 If you can’t come to our fundraiser, please consider making a donation!. Small donations from our community make a big difference, especially at this time of year.

🌀Using light-sensitive chemistry, Ella Barnes creates images without a camera, shaping light through shadow with sculpted materials and assembled objects. Come see Abyss Embrace (2023) in person at the CultureHub Pool Party. 

🚰 Inspired by the internet phenomenon of ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response), Water Portals ASMR (2025) by Rachel Stein is part of a series uncovers strangely satisfying moments through hypnotic sounds, textures, and visuals.

📆 Wednesday, June 3rd
6-8pm ET
Tickets Sliding Scale $25-$150

🔦Spotlighting the CultureHub Residency Opportunity for Los Angeles based Artists:

These residencies are designed to support artists as they get new work on its feet and in front of an audience. We support artists who critically examine technology from a diverse array of mediums and creative perspectives.

Preference will be given to proposals that (1) have a clear vision for how to use our physical space and resources and (2) demonstrate solid artistic practices and the use of technology as a tool to explore and reveal the creative crux of the work.

Themes of particular interest: ecological responsibility, tech ethics, integration of old+new tech, localized networks, human connection, and sustainability.

Resident Artists will have access to the following support and opportunities:

🔵 Access to the CultureHub Los Angeles studio, equipment, and technical support for 1-2 weeks in residence.
🟦 One public offering to the CultureHub community during their residency.
🔵 A $2000 stipend for the development of their project
🟦 Marketing support through our website, email newsletters, and social media.
🔵 Assistance with photo and video documentation of the project.

📝 Apply to be a CultureHub Los Angeles Resident Artist by May 20th
