Arts Collaborative of Angels | Downtown Los Angeles A Holistic Movement for Empowerment, Arts, and Systemic Change Proposal for the WeALL?RT Corridor: A Holistic Movement for Empowerment, Art, and Systemic Change INTRODUCTION The WeALL?RT Corridor is a transformative initiative designed to unite the Historic Core and Skid Row, erasing the invisible but oppressive boundary that has long divided these two neighborhoods. Centered on the power of art as a vehicle for empowerment, healing, and systemic change, the district seeks to ignite a flame of creativity and resilience that transcends stigmas, redefines narratives, and reclaims space for dignity, unity, and growth. Rooted in the belief that ART TRANSCENDS, ART UNITES, and ART DOES NOT FAIL, the district reimagines the stretch of 5th Street between Main and San Pedro as a thriving cultural corridor, with Engine 23 as its beating heart. The WeALL?RT Corridor envisions an inclusive, empowering, and interconnected community where art serves as the catalyst for social, cultural, and economic transformation VISION STATEMENT The WeALL?RT Corridor is a holistic, art-driven movement that: ? Bridges divides by uniting the Historic Core and Skid Row, dismantling the artificial boundaries that perpetuate inequity. ? Ignites systemic change by addressing deep-seated social challenges with creative, community-led solutions. ? Celebrates diversity and resilience, amplifying the voices, talents, and stories of Skid Row residents and neighboring communities. ? Fosters healing and empowerment through art, creating opportunities for connection, reflection, and transformation. A NEW IDENTITY: BURNING THE BOUNDARY For decades, the boundary between Skid Row and the surrounding areas has been unspoken yet omnipresent¡ªreinforcing exclusion, perpetuating stigma, and limiting potential. The WeALL?RT Corridor will act as the flame that burns and erases this boundary, forging a unified, interconnected neighborhood where creativity flows freely, and community members are celebrated for their contributions and talents. This e?ort is not about masking the reality of Skid Row but rather honoring its stories and residents by creating opportunities for healing, empowerment, and collaboration. Through art, advocacy, and systemic change, the corridor will serve as a beacon of hope for the entire Downtown Los Angeles area. ALIGNMENT WITH NEIGHBORING INITIATIVES The WeALL?RT Corridor will seamlessly integrate and strengthen the e?orts of its neighboring organizations and initiatives, forging a collaborative ecosystem of empowerment and cultural celebration, including: ? CJLA Peace and Healing Center: Partnering on therapeutic arts and wellness programs. ? Studio 526: Amplifying the voices of artists with lived experience of homelessness through exhibitions and workshops. ? Downtown Women¡¯s Center (DWC): Elevating the role of women in Skid Row through art and advocacy. ? DTLA Proud Initiative: Extending the Gayborhood boundary, ensuring LGBTQIA+ inclusion and visibility. ? LA Poverty Department¡¯s Skid Row Festival for Artists: Showcasing local talent and promoting creative equity. ? DTLA Art Nights: Positioning the district as a cornerstone of Downtown¡¯s thriving arts scene. ? LA Hope Dealer Gallery, Regent Theater, and Urban Voices Project: Enriching the cultural and creative o?erings of the area. CORE PRINCIPLES OF THE WEALL?RT CORRIDOR 1. Unification of the Historic Core and Skid Row The corridor will forge connections between these neighborhoods, cultivating shared experiences, relationships, and opportunities for growth through: ? Public art installations and performances that span Main Street to San Pedro, bridging divides. ? Collaborative projects between artists, residents, and businesses across both neighborhoods. ? Events and festivals that celebrate the cultural contributions of the entire community. 2. Empowerment Through Creativity The corridor will serve as a platform for residents and artists to develop their skills and amplify their voices, o?ering: ? Workshops, residencies, and mentorship pr

Detailed Proposal: A Holistic Approach to Community Integration Through Film Productions Introduction This proposal seeks to establish a comprehensive model where film productions are not only contributors to the entertainment industry but also active agents of social, economic, and infrastructural improvement in the communities where they film. The model incorporates a framework for mutual benefit: productions leverage tax incentives while fostering sustainable community development, addressing economic disparities, and creating opportunities for local growth. This approach focuses on integrating community investment into every stage of production?€¡±from hiring and workforce development to public space improvement and nonprofit support?€¡±while ensuring that municipal budgets are protected and not strained. 1. Objectives The core objectives of this proposal are: 1. Foster Local Economic Growth: Increase local employment, promote small business opportunities, and strengthen the local economy by integrating local workers and businesses into the production process. 2. Enhance Public Infrastructure: Facilitate the revitalization of public spaces such as parks, streets, cultural landmarks, and other community assets by making them part of the production process. 3. Support Nonprofits and Social Programs: Channel resources toward community-based organizations that serve local needs such as educational initiatives, health services, and social justice programs. 4. Ensure Sustainable Development: Encourage the creation of long-term community assets and initiatives that continue to provide value even after the production wraps. 5. Offer Financial Incentives: Provide tax incentives to production companies that fulfill specific community engagement criteria, incentivizing them to invest in local growth and social good. 2. Community Engagement Model A. Local Hiring Requirements ?€? Employment Targets: Productions will be required to hire a minimum percentage of their workforce from within the local community. This would include crew members, technical staff, actors, and even vendors. For example: ?€? At least 30% of the crew should be local residents (depending on the size of the production). ?€? Local hires must be given priority for non-specialized roles (e.g., security, transportation, catering, set construction). ?€? Workforce Development: Productions will be encouraged to partner with local educational institutions, vocational schools, and nonprofits to create training programs for individuals in underserved communities. These programs could include apprenticeship schemes, mentorship programs, and on-the-job training in various aspects of the film industry. ?€? Economic Impact: Increased employment in underserved communities will have a direct positive effect on local businesses, as workers spend their wages within the community, contributing to job creation and further local investment. B. Public Space and Infrastructure Improvements ?€? Urban Revitalization: Productions will be encouraged to allocate funds for the renovation and beautification of public spaces. These may include: ?€? Park upgrades, such as new green spaces, playgrounds, or murals that reflect local culture and history. ?€? Streetscape improvements, including better lighting, benches, and signage that improves the pedestrian experience. ?€? Public art installations, funded through the production, that could serve as lasting landmarks within the community. ?€? Sustainability: Infrastructure improvements must adhere to sustainable practices, including green building materials, solar energy usage, and waste reduction programs. The focus will be on creating spaces that contribute to long-term community wellness and environmental health. ?€? Collaborative Design: Each project will be planned in collaboration with local architects, urban planners, and community members to ensure that the projects meet the specific needs of the area and reflect the community?€?s values. C. Support for Nonprofits and Social Programs ?€? Community-Based Partnerships: Productions will be

This role is focused on nurturing Fractured Atlas¡¯s online community spaces and building strong relationships with our member base and the arts sector at large.

The External Relations team practices participatory decision making and we believe in the importance of being good at our jobs, while not being consumed by them. At Fractured Atlas, we individually and collectively work hard to carry out our organization¡¯s mission. We also understand that work is just one part of life and, through a culture of care, support team members having full and robust lives outside of work. With that foundation, our organizational culture embraces people who are open to: Building trust with others and addressing equitable distribution of responsibilities when collaborating Learning new ways of working while welcoming change as a way to reshape processes/policies/programming that no longer serve our values Transparency in communications, decision making, and feedback Centering care and connection in our individual work and in relation to our colleagues We recognize that the culture and core values of an organization should continue to evolve to reflect the world we live in. At any given time, we recognize that there might be emerging values other than our stated values and we continue to have conversations about stated and emerging values. Additionally, at Fractured Atlas we work to adhere to anti-oppression and anti-racism principles in all areas of our internal and external work. This commitment is grounded in our belief that change is possible, and that our work and that of the artistic community as a whole will grow stronger as oppression is eliminated. In our current phase of this journey towards being an Anti-Racist Anti-Oppressive (ARAO) organization, the whole staff is engaged in all staff ARAO meetings led by rotating teams and undergo training as part of their onboarding process. We recognize that we do not have all of the answers as we pursue this work. This work will continue to shift as the Fractured Atlas team changes. We ask that new team members join us as we continue to learn, practice, and grow in this work. Learn more about what it¡¯s like to work at Fractured Atlas here.
