About LAND:

Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND) connects people and places through art to deepen a sense of belonging by commissioning site-responsive free public art and programs. LAND presents community responsive public artist projects, empowering artists with highly dynamic, unconventional practices—and who are embedded and invested in their communities—to have autonomy over the presentation of their work and in meaningful, direct connection with the public.

An agile, nomadic organization with a young, ambitious history, LAND brings artists together with the community for a radical, inclusive, and roving arc of art, activism, and innovative, accessible programming. Founded in 2009 with a renegade, boundless spirit, LAND began commissioning artists interested in responding to the unique histories and stories of a site and the multiplicity of people and communities who live there.

Today, LAND extends that adventurous legacy to platform site responsive public artworks with artist commissions that are deeply regenerative, invite fresh, critical dialogue, and that activate and uplift disparate communities all over Los Angeles County.

About Del Vaz Projects:

Del Vaz Projects is a non-profit art space based in Los Angeles, California. Founded in 2014 by Jay Ezra Nayssan in a home-turned-artists space in Santa Monica—and accredited as a 501(c)(3) in 2021—Del Vaz Projects mounts exhibitions, produces publications, and stages programs centering visual art, performance work, and moving-image media. Named after the Persian phrase دست و دلباز (dæst ō del bāz), meaning openhanded and openhearted, our approach is intentional, relational, and resourceful.

Del Vaz Projects collaborates with artists across generations and geographies to manifest projects in our space and throughout our city’s cultural and historical institutions—with each endeavor, infusing diverse environments with a sense of collective intimacy, intellectual inquiry, and expressive invention.

The space serves as an incubator for artists, archives, and estates and is driven by four essential initiatives: a curatorial platform that produces on-site and off-site exhibitions that are free and accessible to the public; a research collective comprised of fellows and freelancers who pair cutting-edge scholarship with experimental authorship to craft insightful texts for Del Vaz Projects’ shows and publications; an independent press that designs, publishes, and distributes artist books and exhibition catalogs—featuring critical texts commissioned by contemporary writers and cultural innovators; and an artist production fund that secures fiscal and material resources through our extended community of collaborators in order to support underfunded artists as they pursue ambitious projects.
