ESMoA's goal is to inspire creative thinking in the South Bay and Los Angeles area. It encourages people to "Reimagine Creativity" through unique art shows, community activities, and art education. ESMoA aims to change how we think, learn, and create using the arts.

WHO WE ARE

Operated by the artlab21 Foundation, the mission of the Experimentally Structured Museum of Art (ESMoA) is to act as a catalyst for creative thinking in the South Bay and greater Los Angeles area, provoking visitors to “Reimagine Creativity” with a focus on experimental exhibitions, community engagement and arts education. ESMoA seeks to recalibrate rules of understanding, knowing, and doing through the arts.

DONATE 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. 

Thank you for your support.

With gratitude,

The ESMoA Team
