Public Matters is a creative studio for civic engagement. An award-winning, Los Angeles-based social enterprise.
We are a cross-disciplinary, multigenerational and culturally diverse group: artists, educators, designers, facilitators, public engagement specialists, and media production professionals committed to equity, engaged in collaborative creative acts for public good.
Our team is fluent across cultural contexts, languages, media, disciplines, and sectors.
