A SPACE FOR

BLACK ARTISTS TO

ARTIST COHORT STUDIO PROGRAM

OVERVIEW

ZEAL is a multimedia group housing a studio, creative agency and media publishing platform for visual & performance artists throughout the Black diaspora. We create infrastructure and spaces for Black artists to thrive.

The ZEAL Artist Cohort Studio Program will provide local artists with a co-working opportunity through a Black artist cohort, a shared studio space and professional development. This structure aims to support Black artists in Los Angeles and to culturally and economically strengthen up and coming Black art professionals in predominantly Black neighborhoods in Los Angeles.
