LIVE ·2024 Grants ChallengeFarmer’s Market at Compound
The Farmer's Market at Compound will support the accessibility of healthy food in Long Beach’s under-resourced Zaferia neighborhood, which has been designated as a food desert by the USDA. Every other weekend, the Farmer’s Market at Compound will bring our local neighborhood affordable, fresh, local food in a family-friendly environment. To ensure accessibility, the Farmer’s Market at Compound will accept SNAP benefits.
CREATE ·2021 Grants ChallengeArt for All
Art for All is a series of artist-led family workshops, virtual programs, onsite activities, take-home art projects, and a portable programming pod that brings arts education to all nine districts of Long Beach. At Compound our educational partner is Slanguage, a renowned artist collective, that has radicalized arts education for 25 years. We intend to raise non-status quo narratives that have been silenced and buried, speak truth to power, and reactivate public space through equity and access.
