We invite you to experience DeepDIVE. Immerse yourself in an artistic world inspired by the sights and sounds of the deep sea. In this first chapter of DeepDIVE – West End Arts District’s latest climate arts venture – we celebrate the boundless mystery of the oceans that surround us.
As a coastal community, ocean waves frame our everyday existence, but few of us have any great knowledge of the diversity of life that exists beneath those waves and the vital role that ocean conservation plays in sustaining life on earth. That is about to change.
DeepDIVE is a 2-year creative project led by a stellar team of local artists:

Taylor Griffith is a multi-disciplinary artist from Oakland, California, currently in residence with Altasea in the Port of Los Angeles. He frequently collaborates with scientists, artists, and organizations including National Geographic and the United Nations, venturing into the field to collect underwater imagery, audio recordings, notes, and samples that are later distilled into a cohesive body of work.
