Hi family, friends, creatives, introverts pretending to be extroverts, and everyone who’s ever said,

“Let’s go to The Living Room DTLA,” or who just simply believes in the power of community!

The Living Room DTLA was created by Delise Aubrey as a space where creativity could breathe, conversations could linger, and community could feel, well….like home. A place where artists, entrepreneurs, poets, comedians, musicians, and “I-just-came-to-vibe” folks could all exist under one roof, without judgment.

What started as a simple idea has grown into something far bigger than we imagined.

This space has hosted laughs, tears, breakthroughs, live performances, late-night ideas, first shows, last rehearsals, and moments that changed people’s lives. It’s been a safe haven in a city that moves fast and rarely pauses, a place where people feel seen, supported, and inspired. Now, The Living Room DTLA is at a powerful point of growth.

The demand for this space, for more hours, more programming, more opportunities, and more access has grown beyond what we can do alone. To continue expanding what The Living Room offers, we’re inviting our community to help us grow the impact.

Your support helps us:

• Expand operating hours (including daytime access)

• Create more paid opportunities for artists and creatives

• Continue employing individuals who face barriers to traditional employment

• Support independent creators, entrepreneurs, and performers

• Launch free youth art classes and entrepreneurship workshops

• Strengthen and scale a space that prioritizes people over clout

The Living Room DTLA has become a home for artists finding their voice, entrepreneurs building their dreams, and people simply looking for a place to belong. It’s been a space of firsts…….first performances, first collaborations, first moments of confidence and we believe the best is still ahead.

If The Living Room DTLA has ever:

• Given you a place to land

• Introduced you to your favorite artist

• Sparked an idea

• Felt like home when you needed one

…this is your moment to help us grow it.

And if donating isn’t possible, sharing this message still helps us reach the people who believe in spaces like this.

Thank you for believing in places that feel human, rooms that feel warm, and a Living Room that’s not your momma’s living room—but your favorite living room.

With love, laughter, and big vision,

The Living Room DTLA
