Junior High | 501(c)(3)

In 2015, Faye Orlove founded Junior High — a nonprofit community space in Los Angeles.

Junior High is a non-profit 501(c)3 community arts space prioritizing the safety and expression of female, queer, nonbinary, and artists of color. Our physical space, publication, podcast, and other ventures function on principles of radical empathy, equity, and mutual aid.

With Orlove as Art Director and CEO — Junior High quickly became one of Los Angeles’ most important community hubs. Having hosted hundreds of events amplifying marginalized voices, Junior High has been lauded by Google, The Los Angeles Times, Nylon, Bustle, and more as one of the nation’s most pivotal arts space. Bust named Orlove and Junior High: “THE GIRL AND GALLERY CHANGING THE ART WORLD.”
