On Tuesday, March 5, 2024, the Las Fotos Project headquarters located in Boyle Heights was burglarized. While they are trying to assess the extent of the losses, they can confirm that all cameras, lenses, and studio equipment used in their creative career training program and social enterprise were stolen. Additionally, the facility’s doors and gallery space were damaged.
At this time, they ask for collective support to replace the equipment that may not be covered by insurance and to support with repairs. They have a fundraising goal of $75,000.
You can donate to Las Fotos Project's fundraiser here or buy equipment to be shipped directly to their headquarters here.
