art in the making
About the project
Art in the Making is the core of Work in Progress. The project focuses on artistic process rather than finished outcomes, inviting audiences to experience work while it is still forming.
Our Mission
Stats
Work in Progress brings together artists, curators, and audiences for a week-long exploration of how art is made. By shifting attention away from polished exhibitions and toward process, WIP aims to make contemporary art more accessible, transparent, and human. The project supports artists by offering time, visibility, and engaged audiences, while inviting the public to witness creativity as it unfolds.

Nōvo Collective is an independent cultural platform focused on rethinking art in public space and expanding how art circulates and is exhibited today.
Uncommissioned is a global public art initiative that supports unsanctioned and non-institutional artistic interventions. The project creates space for artists to work freely in public contexts, prioritizing autonomy, experimentation, and work that exists outside traditional exhibition structures.
Driven by Collaboration
Supporters & Partners
Work in Progress grows through collaboration. The project exists to hold those differences, allowing the program to evolve through uncertainty and exchange.
We are a curatorial platform based in Los Angeles, developing projects across different cities and cultural contexts. As our work moves internationally, we collaborate closely with local artists and teams on the ground, allowing each project to take shape through its specific place. This approach helps us build work that feels grounded, sincere, and attentive to the local voices and nuances that matter most.
