Arts at Blue Roof

In 2020 Linn founded Arts at Blue Roof, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization that invites artists to work in an environment of creativity and community. Through studio residencies, mentorship, and public programs, Arts at Blue Roof seeks to build long-term relationships with artists and audiences to support accessible arts programs and meaningful arts experiences. In conjunction with Arts at Blue Roof, Linn also founded, A Room of One’s Own artist’s residency which provides women artists with financial resources and a space to work so they can explore materials, investigate ideas and create in a dedicated space outside of their homes free from distractions and everyday responsibilities. Lisa Diane Wedgeworth is the Executive Director of Arts at Blue Roof.

Blue Roof Studios

Founded by Linn in 2016, Blue Roof Studios is a multidisciplinary art hub housed inside a former church in South Los Angeles. It is home to 10 artists’ studios, a communal kitchen, and multi-purpose workshop space. By providing artists with affordable, flexible studios and public exhibition space, Linn seeks to expand the number of artistic opportunities for LA-based creative practitioners. BRS is committed to supporting community initiatives and fostering a meaningful dialogue in a non-traditional cultural venue by hosting free events and exhibitions that explore such issues as access, diversity, and artists’ roles within the broader ecology of the city.
