Stop by the Main Library to see our newest art exhibition, Innovative Studios: The NEW Modern Art, which runs from Sept. 9 through Oct. 29, 2024.

We also invite you to meet the artists at the reception on Saturday, Sept. 14, from 2 to 3 p.m. in the Main Library Community Room.

Or join us as our Fab Lab presents Momentum Creative Universal Design Lecture, on Tuesday, October 8, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Main Library Community Room, for a review of universal design concepts and examples of concepts designed and implemented by Momentum.

Momentum Creative, operated by Momentum, is at the intersection of personal expression and independence. Through innovative supports and resources, individuals have the freedom and flexibility they need to produce, market, and sell their work. Momentum Creative features artists using Momentum services, Los Angeles area artists, and invited guests from all over the world.

Momentum is passionate about empowering children and adults with disabilities and medical conditions and providing a lifespan of services to cultivate freedom of choice and self-expression. This vigorous community of working artists includes people with a variety of physical and developmental challenges such as autism, cerebral palsy, and down syndrome, whose perspective is vital within the contemporary art world. Momentum is committed to the development of new platforms for artists, particularly those with extraordinarily unique methods, to structure their personal practice and empower authentic self-expression.

Many of the distinctive processes utilized by featured artists are enabled by original art tools designed and fabricated in-studio to optimize individual dexterity and control. A mantra amongst artists in the studio is that creative expression is not bound by physicality; rather, it is defined by the will to innovate. Innovative Studios: The NEW Modern Art, presents the work of 15 emerging and established artists that you have to see!
