ArtsUP! LA

ArtsUP! LA is a Los Angeles–based 501(c)(3) theatre and arts organization that centers inclusive performance programs for people with disabilities, veterans, and at-risk youth. Their core programs include Theatre by the Blind (an all‑blind company), Rex & Friends (musicians with disabilities), Veterans Empowerment Theatre, and Creative Youth Theatre. In recent years ArtsUP! LA has been an active grantee and producing organization — receiving California Arts Council operating and project support in 2023, Los Angeles County arts funding for 2025–26, and mounting high-profile productions and world premieres at the Blue Door Theatre. The organization presents public performances, trains participant artists, and partners with local arts institutions to increase accessibility and visibility for its artists. The EIN 26-1127320 was confirmed against the organization’s own public filings and multiple nonprofit registries; ArtsUP! LA operates as a donor-facing charity with an active web presence and ongoing program activity (noted in press and public grant lists) over the last 2–3 years.
