In celebration of our recent launch and our new partnership with Kutturan Chamoru Foundation, Pilele Projects is holding its first fundraising drive to support our start-up and operating costs.

Founded by Mariquita “Micki” Rivera Davis (familian “Pilele” Gadas yan Dådi) and Edward Sterrett, Pilele Projects is an exhibition and workshop space dedicated to supporting projects by artists, cultural practitioners, curators, and scholars emerging from and focused on Pacific Island cultures and their diasporas.

We are currently building out a 1000 sq ft store front space in the Arlington Heights neighborhood in Los Angeles, California. Our goal is to hold residencies, workshops, screenings, and exhibitions. This will also provide opportunities for younger artists and the broader community to engage with the rich and growing field of contemporary Pasifika cultural work.

Invest in sustaining Pasifika Contemporary Arts.
