Machine Project

Machine Project is a non-profit community space in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles investigating art, technology, natural history, science, music, literature, and food (more keywords). In our Echo Park storefront, we produce events, workshops, and site-specific installations using hands-on engagement to make rarefied knowledge accessible (past events).

Outside of the storefront, we operate as a loose confederacy of artists producing shows at locations ranging from the Santa Monica beach to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. We’re currently developing a year long project exploring how visitors experience the Hammer Museum.

How to Find Us

Machine Project is located at 1200-D North Alvarado Street, Los Angeles, CA 90026.

Hours

We don’t really have specific times we are open, although someone is likely to be there every day between 11am and 6pm, unless we’re not. Your best bet if you want to visit the gallery is to come to an event; the gallery is reliably publicly open for all the upcoming events listed here.
