LOS ANGELES

Los Angeles is where Artists for a Better World began in 1997 when Barbara Cordova decided that artists would be better served by uniting as a group to improve conditions in the area. She soon expanded this vision to have a presence internationally through art events, festivals and awards ceremonies.
