Latitude For Art – Artist Residency

CA For The Arts

Latitude For Art operates a solo artist residency within an existing 1920’s apartment building with lush gardens and grand view over Echo Park, Los Angeles. The other apartments are occupied by a long‑term creative community in five units.

We offer dedicated time and space to focus on creative work, and the chance to experiment with new techniques or concepts. We provide a supportive environment for artists to reflect on their practice and connect with other artists and the local community in beautiful, walkable Echo Park.

The residency consists of a large top‑floor studio apartment with tables for different types of work, an antique writing desk, a sturdy easel, wall space for working or display, ample natural light and good artificial lighting. A comfortable couch folds out to a queen‑size bed. The original tiled kitchen contains a 1939 stove, modern fridge/freezer, microwave, toaster oven, kettle and drip coffee machine, among other amenities.

Although on the top floor, the apartment can be accessed from the alley behind the building via a gentle, step‑free ramp from the dedicated parking space. The historic architecture does not have wide enough doors for a wheelchair. The garden, where events are held, is accessed by concrete stairs with a handrail.

We offer a stay of 14 days or less (to be decided in advance) for a solo artist or a couple (tight quarters) at no cost. We encourage at least one event during your stay, coordinated with a committee member and our email list, and we can accommodate an outdoor workshop if desired (details to be worked out ahead of time).
