Pharmaka is a nonprofit organization dedicated to building a creative and sustainable community in Downtown Los Angeles.  It is Pharmaka's intent to explore the place and purpose of contemporary art by engaging and educating the community of Downtown Los Angeles through curated exhibitions, lectures, panel discussions, podcasts, and accessible community programming and events.
