VISION

The Mistake Room empowers the lives of practitioners of the imagination so that their work may have a tangible, responsible, and meaningful role in the advancement of humanity. 

ABOUT US

The Mistake Room is LA's only independent non-profit cultural institution solely devoted to an international program of art and ideas. Founded on a deep commitment to the creation, discovery, and advancement of new ways of being and knowing, The Mistake Room has at the core of its mission a single mandate-to generate critical insights into the nature of human creativity in order to then activate its potential to impact our lives. Through research, exhibitions and experimental projects, lectures and conversations, events and situation-specific encounters, public and educational initiatives, and publications, The Mistake Room brings to Los Angeles a timely and relevant program that is both intellectually rigorous and genuinely diverse. Supporting artists and other cultural producers from around the world who have often never before exhibited in our city, The Mistake Room also functions as a dynamic platform that connects Los Angeles to peoples, places, and histories that exist well beyond its confines-helping create expansive opportunities abroad for our city's vibrant creative community.
