Located in Santa Monica, 18th Street Arts Center is a hub for artistic innovation that actively nurtures and promotes the work of contemporary artists from around the globe, from all disciplines at various career stages. It is particularly well-known for its artist residency program.

The PAA grant will support an exhibition of new work by Los Angeles artist Jenny Yurshansky from July through October 2023. Yurshansky will create new work in various media that explores how pain is buried in the body and how trauma is passed onto future generations.
