A free gathering for artists and creatives to connect, learn, and build sustainable lives.

LiveARC LA is a free, community-centered gathering by Artist Resource Collective designed for artists and creatives to build sustainable, informed, and connected lives. The event features practical finance workshops alongside access to a legal café and other resource providers offering guidance on the real-life challenges artists face.

Beyond the workshops, LiveARC is a space to connect — over shared food, art, and conversation. Whether you're seeking tools, support, or simply community, this event invites you to engage, learn, and grow within a network grounded in care and collective sustainability.

This project was made possible in part with Art of Recovery support from the City of Santa Monica Cultural Affairs and Ouow Studio.

Artist Resource Collective (ARC) is an artist-designed program powered by YoungArts that focuses on artist sustainability and knowledge-building. It currently offers free virtual and live workshops on personal finance, business structures, contracts, taxes, grant writing, legal issues, and intellectual property. ARC is made possible through generous funding from Chloe Berkowitz and the Berkowitz Contemporary Foundation, as well as contributions from Black Family Philanthropies and Hearst Foundations.
