About
The Centre For The Living Arts is an independent, nonprofit organization, which works on behalf of the community. The group primarily specializes in event planning and focuses on decorative works of art. We plan events featuring the world’s top artists, while also hosting art and gallery exhibitions. Our previous events and our future projects may involve an enormous variety of amazing artwork from oil paintings to glass art and even wood working. Although our goal is to encourage members of the public to seek further education regarding the arts, we also hope to promote social change and the origination of new ideas.
CFTLA hopes to connect artists to those that will love and cherish their artwork within their homes. We sincerely believe art can be incredibly advantageous for promoting social change, personal growth, and encouraging new ideas. We work closely with artists, community leaders and the public to plan, develop, and host amazing events, which will benefit everyone involved.
All of the exhibitions focus on architecture and home décor suitable works, so the community can get involved and begin exploring their own creativity. All events are run, developed, and planned by volunteers, who want to inspire, motivate and encourage others to achieve self-fulfillment. CFTLA is known for hosting their events within rented spaces, in order to spend less and achieve more for the betterment of the world at large. Despite all of the complexities, our true end goal is to help independent artists increase the visibility of their works.
What We Do
We devise community events, involving various forms of arts. These annual events are designed to allow all professional and up-and-coming artists to display their talented creations. We offer art classes in varying fields that are suitable for all age groups and artistic levels. By featuring your artwork at one of our organized exhibits, you will be able to market your work and engage the community.
We know how much work is put into creating unique and detailed works, so we want to help you fulfill your endeavor. Our exhibitory theme will aid in creating group momentum, while allowing artists from all walks of life the opportunity open up about their wonderful works, pieces, and models.

Our Mission
We strive to create an environment that will be engaging for adults, youth, and all those in between. We work diligently to encourage outsiders to get involved in creative arts, because it is the best way to nonverbally express one’s personality and opinions.
Inspiring the youth to become healthy, productive adults is our main goal. We want to develop an atmosphere, where professional and developing artists can freely explore their creative side. The ideal environment will offer a calming ambience, but filled with excitement, while encouraging everyone to get involved.
Our Vision
Formulate a central location, where the world’s best independent artists will be able to gather and acquire the acceptance, recognition and success they’ve always desired.
