There was a time when it was bad to be black;
a time when brown was illegal;
a time when being gay or queer was immoral;
a time when those less abled were abominable. 
There were times when being different was a vice.
We reject those labels.
For those historically undervalued, overlooked or cast aside we say now is your time, now is our time. 
We are creating a Band of Vices.
We reject colonialism, we reject tribalism, we reject exclusivity, we embrace uniqueness, diversity, and inclusion. 
We embrace love.

We are a Band of Vices...

Our mission is to harness the power of all our differences to create a greater whole. We support strong voices and community.

Founded in 2015, Band of Vices is an art and culture company committed to providing a platform to often overlooked creative communities and a narrative through ever-evolving initiatives, including a highly curated exhibition program, culturally relevant strategic partnerships, mission-driven community programming, and more.

Headquartered in the burgeoning West Adams Arts District of Los Angeles, Band of Vices believes in disrupting the limited business model for artists and creatives.

Band of Vices is committed to providing a platform for those historically undervalued, overlooked or cast aside.

Band of Vices embraces uniqueness, diversity, and inclusion.
