JANUARY ARTS is a support network for the art community. The Los Angeles nonprofit was founded by KRISTINE SCHOMAKER in 2024 and represents the latest effort by the artist to create space for community and career growth outside of the competitive commercial marketplace. Kristine believes that “When you realize you aren’t alone, or that you don’t have to be alone, opportunities open up.”

KRISTINE SCHOMAKER is not only a visual artist and art historian--she also runs a PR and management agency, provides space for artists to present their work at the Brewery Arts Complex (where she lives), and edits an online magazine! In middle of all of this she took time to share her thoughts with us here.
