The Friends of La Neo USA program is based on the contributions of patrons and philanthropists who provide financial support to the various programs of the Nonprofit Arthouse and Building Bridges Art Exchange organizations in LA. The funds raised are entirely dedicated to benefitting American artists. The program offers support and funding to artists through residencies, exhibitions, and scholarships. Within its educational programs, Arthouse takes action to support art committed to social minorities, LGBTQ diversity, feminism, and gives special attention to artistic creation by women.
