Donate to the Xela Institute of Art

The Xela Institute of Art is a nonprofit space rooted in Long Beach, dedicated to uplifting underrepresented emerging, mid-career, and senior artists through free exhibitions, career development, and community-centered programs. Your donation directly supports artists at pivotal moments in their practice—offering mentorship, professional services, and a platform for transformative work. Help us sustain a low-barrier, artist-first model that reimagines what care, collaboration, and cultural equity can look like. Every contribution helps us build a more just and vibrant arts ecosystem.
