Connecting artists to community since 1992.
Side Street Projects is an entirely mobile artist-run organization.
We are devoted to community-centered artists through community-led programming that promotes creativity, wellbeing, and the potential for collective growth.
We are centered and led by the justice-impacted communities of Pasadena and LA County.
