The Coaxial Arts Foundation Spring 2024 Membership Drive + Fundraiser has begun!
Become A Member or Make A One-Time to help us reach our fundraising goal of $60,000 and keep the doors open, cover overhead costs, and continue supporting underrepresented artists for another year.
Coaxial Arts Foundation marks its 9th anniversary, a testament to our unwavering commitment to nurturing creativity in Los Angeles! Yet, amidst our celebration, a pressing challenge has arisen. We did not secure two of the vital grants that have sustained us in recent years. This setback leaves a significant void, one that only your support can fill.
Your membership is more than a contribution; it's a lifeline for our community. It fuels our ability to sustain our space, compensate our dedicated team, and empower our talented artists. Every member strengthens our position, increasing our chances of securing more crucial grant funding in the future.
For as little as $1 per month, you can help us safeguard Coaxial's legacy for another year. As a token of our appreciation, we offer exclusive perks and heartfelt thank-you gifts to our cherished supporters.
Help sustain this thriving community. Your involvement is not just wanted; it's essential. Together, let's make a lasting impact on the creative landscape of Los Angeles.
We love and need you!

SPIT
Saliva, a watery liquid secreted into the mouth by glands. It contains over 1,000 different types of molecules and proteins. Saliva keeps ones mouth, tongue, gums, and teeth moist, which makes it easier to taste, swallow, and communicate.
I see pleasure and desire as an emancipatory practice and ritual. The body embracing hedonism is another path to come home to one’s self, as a form of transformation and rebirth into eternal life.
SPIT will be open to the public October 25 - 27, 2024.
Amina’s work stems from a deep interest in investigating the areas between transformation and identity, personal narratives and how we are shaped by the spaces we inhabit. She is an interdisciplinary artist that uses photography as her main form of exploration, employing a surrendering to materials and collaboration as tools to investigate visual representations and forms of identity.
She is interested in art that brings viewers into a deeper connection with the preciousness and difficulty of a changing self and in-between moments. Moments that ask questions of purpose and belonging.
Amina Cruz was born and lives in Los Angeles, CA. She hitchhiked around the country before deciding to move to New York City, where she earned her BFA in Photography from Parsons School of Design. She also holds a MFA from UCLA. Her interests are based in queer culture, early 1900’s photography techniques, and exploring the space between transformation and identity.

This residency is supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, Department of Cultural Affairs, Los Angeles, and the Mike Kelley Foundation.
