April de LaB > Make Time: Shop Your Local de LaB Community!

We know things may have been a bit...um...slow for some of our de LaB friends in the last few months. But we've also heard some pretty amazing stories about you all using that extra time to take on new and exciting endeavors. In fact, so many of you have contacted us about the cool things you're making that we knew we had to find a way to help share them—and sell them.

In April, we're holding a very special event during the Downtown Art Walk where de LaB members will have a chance to showcase their freshly-made wares. All the rest of us have to do is show up and support them!

About de LaB

(that’s: design east of La Brea)
part design lab, part social experiment

de LaB (dee-lab) is a Los Angeles-based 501(c)3 nonprofit that celebrates and supports local creatives in their efforts to enlighten, improve and engage the city. Through monthly events that are educational and inspirational, de LaB unites an enthusiastic community of local residents who are invested in the future of L.A.

We firmly believe that the east side of Los Angeles is home to the most exciting creative community in the world. We hope to bring exposure to its artists, designers and architects—both legendary and emerging—through events, workshops and public engagement projects that focus on building a better L.A. Through these events, we explore the changing urban environment, discover new projects and ideas, and learn more about the city in which we live, helping us to become more passionate, invested Angelenos.

Want to know more about what we do? Here's a list of the events we hosted in 2012, a list of the events we hosted in 2011 and a list of the events we hosted in 2010.
