Founded in Eagle Rock by a group of Los Angeles artists, X-TRA has been produced quarterly since 1997 by the Project X Foundation for Art and Criticism. X-TRA is a contemporary art journal that presents expansive features, historical essays, interviews, substantive reviews and more. It is also Los Angeles’s longest running critical art journal

The PAA’s grant will support the X-TRA Archive Project and the final print edition of X-TRA. To honor X-TRA’s 25-year legacy, X-TRA will catalogue and organize their extensive archive of over 100 issues so it can be accessible to artists, critics, writers and journalists, art historians, curators, scholars, and students. A Sunset Working Group has been formed, composed of members of the Editorial Board and the Project X Foundation Board, who will oversee the sunsetting process and launch the X-TRA Archive Project.
