Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Art Museums, Arts & Culture
Mission: The lux art institute believes that visual art educates, inspires, and transforms its viewers. The institute supports artists in development of new projects through a residency program, and shares their discoveries with scholars, art patrons and a regional and national audience. The institute also educates and engages the community to foster an appreciation of the living artist and creative process.
Programs: Education programming: the valise project is an outreach program bringing museum quality art to schools in southern california in order to provide academic enrichment through art. The program reinforces standards for more than 5,000 k-12 students each year with 55% being title i schools.
residency and exhibition program: the residency serves five artists each season (sept. -july) to sponsor artists as they create new work in the lux studio, showcase a retrospective of each artist's work, and provide these artists with personal and professional challenge by seeing their work and process through the eyes of the public. The exhibition serves thousands of lux visitors each season by showcasing a mini-retrospective of work of each of the lux resident artists combined with the work of art in process, in order to foster a deeper understanding of the creative process in the viewer.
