Eastside International


Original site of Eastside International (ESXLA) at the Brewery Arts Complex in Los Angeles, circa 2018

Eastside International (ESXLA) (2014 - 2020) was an artist-run contemporary art exhibition space and international artist residency based out of Los Angeles, California, USA, directed and curated by artist Jason Ramos.

Originally founded in 2014 by Ramos and artists Michelle Carla Handel and Molly Shea, Eastside International’s former artist in residence program hosted over 120 artists between 2014 and 2020 to live, work, and immerse themselves in the Los Angeles art community. ESXLA’s former exhibition program featured the work of local, national, and international emerging and established artists in a non-commercial, alternative venue.

All AIR programs ended in March 2020, and on-site exhibition programming ended in October 2020.
