Five Dollar Art Party

Five Dollar Art Party is an outdoor art experience that takes place at a magical one acre oasis called La Culebra art park tucked into a residential area of Northeast Los Angeles. ARTWATERlife is honored to be able to create memorable connections to community and art through these events which are also art supply drives and fundraisers for the most pressing human crisis of our time, including supporting the people of Congo via Focus Congo, Palestine via the Rammun Foundation, and Sudan via Heaven Refugees

What We Do

Activate La Culebra Art Park as a third space with cultural gatherings that support community and the responsible stewardship of the land.

How We Do It

We create live art experiences that celebrate the majesty of La Culebra. We feature diverse artists, musicians, muralists, live painters, vendors, healers and art activators as we welcome all ages, collect gently used art supply donations and raise money to give direct aid to humans in dire need and support social change.

The Five Dollar Art Party is an accessible immersive art experience and fundraiser that is uplifting public art while collecting gently used art supplies for underserved communities and raising money for dope causes.

In 3 short years we have featured four hundred artists, musicians, muralists, and small businesses and painted fifty public murals at historic La Tierra de la Culebra Art Park in Highland Park Los Angeles.
