LAS Champion Christopher Barake

Laundromat Art Space (LAS) is a vibrant artist studio and gallery located in the heart of Little Haiti. Since its founding, LAS has been a vital resource for emerging and mid-career artists, offering high-quality studio spaces and exceptional exhibition opportunities.

Beyond supporting professional artists, LAS has been a dedicated advocate for the FIU Department of Art + Art History and its students. Through a strong partnership with Executive Director Ronald Sanchez, LAS has provided numerous opportunities for growth and learning. These include hosting student exhibitions that showcase their talents to the Miami art community, organizing insightful critiques that refine their creative voices, and facilitating studio visits that offer students invaluable exposure to professional practices. 

This Give Miami Day, I invite you to join me in supporting Laundromat Art Space. Together, we can empower LAS and Ronald Sanchez to continue fostering collaboration among multidisciplinary artists and providing resident artists—and aspiring students—with a unique, inspiring environment to thrive.
