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.
