Join our community of supporters and artists for an intimate party to benefit LACE. As the city’s longest-running incubator for artistic experimentation, LACE champions artists, curators, and cultural workers who explore and defy boundaries through socially-engaged projects. We provide platforms within and beyond our space for diverse communities to connect deeply with challenging contemporary art. Benefit proceeds directly support LACE’s operations and programming, which platforms artists and communities currently under attack including LGBTQ+, disabled, immigrant, and BIPOC individuals. With the dismantling of federal funding for the arts and humanities, support for LACE’s Benefit is as urgent and impactful as ever.

Corita Kent: The Sorcery of Images focuses on a little seen part of Corita’s artistic practice: her archive of over fifteen thousand 35 mm slides that she and her cohorts took between 1955 and 1968 while she was a beloved teacher in the art department at Immaculate Heart College. Collecting fragments of the world with her camera for reuse at a later date, her eye documented the contemporary Los Angeles urban landscape of advertising and billboards, social events such as the effervescent and carnivalesque processions of the college’ s Mary’s Day celebrations, dolls and puppets, flowers, and many other often-overlooked moments of everyday wonder.

It’s a progression, moving from one part of the city to the next across four days. The event brings together studios, shops, installations, and more in clustered pockets, making it easy to explore by foot, bike, scooter, Metro, or whatever wheels you’ve got.

Tsukiko lives a mundane existence that revolves around her office job. On her way to work one day, she closes her eyes and a mysterious giant egg appears in what would otherwise be the darkness of her eyelids. Soon, the egg hatches, unleashing with it real world effects that grow more horrifying every time she closes here eyes. A surreal slice of birth-horror, Yukihiko Tsutsumi's (2LDK & FORBIDDEN SIREN) EGG blends elements of psychological thrillers and creature features in an effort to deconstruct sensitive themes such as women's traditional roles in society–all while creating an uncomfortable atmosphere of mounting dread that will be sure to stick with viewers long after their first-time viewing.
