The Art of Elysium

Since 1997, The Art of Elysium has put working artists in rooms with people who need them most — children in hospitals, elders, the incarcerated, the unhoused. Their Heaven Gala is one of the most influential creative gatherings in Los Angeles, and their alumni span every tier of Hollywood, music, and fine art.

Demo Day winners share the stage with their community of artists, philanthropists, and culture-makers. This is where new storytellers meet the people who build careers.

LOST POETS

The Lost Poets is the literary collective behind the arena — a workshop, a press, and a circle of writers obsessed with finding the next voice before anyone else does. They produce Demo Day, vet every shortlist, and walk every winner into the room.

When a writer goes home with representation, a producer attached, or an option check — the Poets were the ones who made the introduction.
