Band of Vices is honored to be a part of In the Paint (ITP), a special presentation with the Los Angeles Lakers. ITP aligns with BoV’s core mission of providing opportunities to undervalued people and communities. As a platform for BIPOC artists in Southern California, ITP shines a light on emerging artists, many of whom have historically been overlooked. Working with ITP, BoV plans to nurture the newly discovered talent to develop long-term success and foster greater equity and inclusion. Importantly, in addition to facilitating the exhibition and art sales for the ITP Event, BoV will be exhibiting the entire body of work in its own gallery, providing access to a broad audience including but not limited to the communities represented by many of the artists in the program.

The Lakers created In the Paint as an extension of their 6-point Racial Equity & Action Plan. In the Paint seeks to uplift and empower BIPOC artists to reach their fullest potential. Through honoring a culture that is uniquely Los Angeles and appreciating BIPOC artists from the neighborhoods around this city; this program transcends convention. ITP invites everyone to be a part of a time of transformation. Band of Vices has joined the Lakers’ In the Paint program to personify this mission. Our collaboration connects the work from these globally-recognized artists to you — our guests, who we welcome to secure a piece from the collection representing a new Los Angeles.
