ABOUT

We are Ampersand, a collective of arts journalists dedicated to creating a space that articulates the work of artists and makers primarily in Los Angeles.

Among our staff are essayists, critics, documentarians, podcasters, artists and reporters. We work in different media. Curious about the things people make, we aim to produce meaningful content that is as creative and experimental as the artists we cover. We are collaborators. We tell stories about art and artists – especially those who challenge assumptions, push boundaries and question barriers of thought and experience. 

 We are based out of the USC Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism’s Master in Specialized Journalism (the Arts) Program.
