The exhibit, held in Downtown Los Angeles through collaboration with Legacy West Media, follows the success of ESMoA Experience 11: SCRATCH in 2014. Jim Reid’s invitation to graffiti artists resulted in ’The ESMoA SCRATCH Print Edition,’ a captivating time capsule capturing Los Angeles’ early 21st-century creativity. Now, ESMoA unveils the BOX to a wider audience, showcasing the evolution of graffiti over the past decade. LEARN MORE ABOUT EDGE Come and see the new Experience 55: SEEDLINGS , a greenhouse for provocative art, where ideas are sown, nurtured, and allowed to bloom beyond the gallery walls. Our exhibition showcases diverse works from LA-based and internationally-recognized artists, whose works’ footprint intends to spread their roots further and farther across LA. The curated works range from influential street art to ancient Roman artifacts.

Defined as an Experimental Museum rather than a traditional one, ESMoA is a provocative, fresh, and agile partner in the community, seeking to recalibrate rules of understanding, knowing, and doing through the arts. Learn moreDONATE TODAY ESMoA’s exhibits and programs are always free and open to the public, but this comes at a great financial cost to our museum. For every person that visits our museum for free, ESMoA spends fifty dollars to develop exhibitions and programming for their enjoyment. To maintain the quality and accessibility of our museum we rely heavily on donations from the public. At ESMoA, every penny counts. Please visit our DONATE page for more information.
