Laundromat Art Space isn’t your typical gallery; it’s a testament to the transformative power of art and community. Housed in a repurposed laundromat in the heart of Little Haiti, this artist-led organization has been a vibrant hub of creativity since 2015.
Founded by a group of artists seeking to create their own unique platform for artistic expression, Laundromat Art Space is a testament to the power of collaboration and self-determination. The expansive 4,500 square foot venue boasts 11 studios and a captivating gallery space, offering a haven for multidisciplinary artists to connect, create, and showcase their work.
Laundromat’s commitment to fostering local talent is evident in its dynamic programming, which features a diverse mix of local, national, and international artists. Their contemporary art exhibitions push boundaries and challenge conventions, while the residency program provides emerging artists with invaluable support and resources.
Under the leadership of Executive Director and Co-founder Ronald Sánchez, Laundromat has cultivated a thriving community of artists, including past residents like Susan Kim Alvarez, Jay Bellicchi, Geraldine Bello, and many more. These artists, representing a wide array of disciplines, have found inspiration and camaraderie within Laundromat’s walls.
Laundromat Art Space is more than just a gallery or a collection of studios; it’s a living testament to the power of art to transform lives and communities. By breaking down barriers between disciplines and fostering a spirit of collaboration, Laundromat is washing away the traditional confines of the art world, creating a space where creativity can truly flourish. In the heart of Little Haiti, Laundromat Art Space is a beacon of artistic innovation, reminding us that even the most mundane spaces can be transformed into something extraordinary.
