Compound LB
Overview
Compound is a cultural and creative complex fostering the intersection of contemporary art, wellness and community impact.
Compound’s approach is holistic and includes multiple entry points for engagement. We conceived public programming ranging from contemporary art exhibitions and immersive experiences, classes, and workshops in the healing arts, performances, dining, and a location to wander and reflect—all in an effort to promote our values of creating connections, belonging, and fostering curiosity and growth.
We are driven by the belief that culture shifts consciousness. Culture provides a safe context to reexamine ourselves, our purpose and bettering our communities.
Compound is an extraordinary cultural sanctuary and multidisciplinary creative hub. Serving a diverse community, the center hosts modern and contemporary art, immersive experiential art, community programming with an art, health and wellness and social justice focus and serves local needs with healthy fresh food and drinks and a meditative garden.
The strategy of Compound is to draw visitors to the center by a) creating a popular venue for the exhibition of experiential contemporary art, b) presenting permanent exhibitions, c) offering exceptionally engaging public programs and events and d) expanding the experience using the most current technology.
