Founded in 2014 by artist Mark Bradford, art collector and philanthropist Eileen Harris Norton and community activist Allan DiCastro, Art + Practice stages free exhibitions of world-class art in Leimert Park, with a special focus on artists living or working in LA. Its community outreach programs target youth in foster care. Exhibits change a few times a year, so check the calendar before setting out to make sure the gallery is open.
