“Being at Eastside has been such an amazing experience for me. It was exactly what I needed, and also much more than I expected. Honestly I couldn’t have afforded a studio & living space much longer when I moved in here and being able to be here gave me time to find my footing post-grad school as an artist in LA. Especially as someone who has no family or significant other here to support me and am trying to make it on my own…it was the perfect place for me. I got to meet so many amazing artists and make some great and meaningful friendships while I was here. It truly meant so much for me; I’m beyond happy and thankful to have been a CAIR at Eastside.”
