18th Street Arts Center is one of the top artist residency programs in the US, and the largest in Southern California. Conceived as a radical think tank in the shape of an artist community, 18th Street supports artists from around the globe to imagine, research, and develop significant, meaningful new artworks and share them with the public. 18th Street strives to provide artists the space and time to take risks, to foster the ideal environment for artists and the public to directly engage, and to create experiences and partnerships that foster positive social change. 

With performance art, activism, social justice, feminism, and the gay rights movements in its DNA since the beginning, 18th Street has continued to foster and support the work of many of Los Angeles’ most engaging and diverse artists and has built bridges to like-minded artist communities around the globe. 

When you visit the 18th Street Arts Center and Highways Performance Space in Santa Monica, you’re stepping into a vibrant hub of contemporary art and performance. At 18th Street Arts Center, you can explore rotating exhibitions, engage with resident artists, and participate in thought-provoking public programs that celebrate creativity and innovation.

We represent major LA artists such as Peter Alexander, Don Bachardy, and Astrid Preston, and have exhibited artists such as Dennis Hopper, Alexis Smith, and Llyn Foulkes. The gallery is also noted for representing legendary Chicano artists Carlos Almaraz, Gilbert Lujan, Judithe Hernández, Gronk, and Dora De Larios. In the ‘90s, Krull focused on conceptual and experimental photography, as well as iconic LA photographers like Julius Shulman and Julian Wasser. Currently, the gallery explores innovative mixed media, ceramics, textiles and installation art by Blue McRight, Brittany Mojo, and Lavialle Campbell, and bold, emerging artists such as Caroline Larsen and Kelly Berg. The gallery presents 16-20 exhibitions per year, with educational programs, artist talks and performances.
