About Us
The Venice Arts Council is fiscally sponsored by the Venice Community Housing Corporation, a 501C3 Tax Exempt Organization.
The Venice Arts Council is, in the largest sense, an extended network of individuals with a stake in our Community Arts. Venice has a lot of wonderful artists and art organizations and we try to work with and for them all. We have been restoring Murals, and plan to restore other public art in Venice like the Poetry Walls. We are often out on the street for the Art Festivals so come by and talk to us. We help other community organizations with donations, fundraising and in kind services. Our direct involvement builds community. Think global, act local. ART=LIFE=ART.

We have been working with the Japanese American Memorial Marker committee to place a Memorial Marker at Venice Boulevard and Lincoln Boulevard.
We have partnered with The International Committee for the Freedom of the Cuban Five, in conjunction with SPARC and Beyond Baroque, and US Actors And Artists United For The Freedom Of The Cuban 5, to produce two exhibits of Cuban Artists, who are members of The Cuban Five. In 2011 we presented “Humor from my Pen”, an exhibition of political cartoons by Gerardo Hernández Nordelo, at SPARC. In 2010 we held an art exhibit and poetry reading of Cuban artist Antonio Guerrero, with Ed Asner, Danny Glover, and Dolores Huerta, at SPARC and Beyond Baroque.
Our Endangered Art Fund, with the help of many other supporters in our community, has restored the Jaya Mural and the Endangered Species Mural.
The DIVAS of Venice series was produced by the Venice Arts Council. The other events were collaborations on many levels.
Divas of Venice: Linda Albertano, Jody Evans and CODE PINK, Theresa Hulme, Maureen Cotter, Carol Fondiller, Adaawe, and Suzy Williams.
