The mission, values and purpose of Free Arts is to uplift those most impacted by abuse, neglect, homelessness, poverty, and injustice & inequity in Los Angeles. We remain steadfast in this work while continually examining what more we can do to not only provide services through art, but to dismantle the structures and systems that stand in the way of equality & inclusion and opportunities for every single member of society.
