What we're planning
Ktown Space is a community workspace for the people who live and work in Koreatown and the surrounding neighborhoods. The concept is simple: a place that is open, accessible, and useful, without the overhead of a club membership or the noise of a coffee shop.
We're not starting from scratch. We've been doing community work in this neighborhood for years: through organizing, mutual aid, and civic engagement. This space is the next piece of that infrastructure.
Desk access for individuals, freelancers, and community org staff during open hours.
Space for small group meetings, intake sessions, and one-on-one appointments.
Programming around civic engagement, skills, and community resource navigation.
Ramp access at the entrance. Accessibility is a requirement, not an afterthought.
Nearby parking options and convenient transit access for community members arriving from across the neighborhood.
A neighborhood space
The locations we're considering are close to residential units. Programming and events at Ktown Space will stay respectful of the neighborhood. The surrounding community is part of what we're building for, not something to work around.
Upcoming events in Koreatown
Events, festivals, and gatherings happening in the neighborhood and across LA. Curated through events.ktown.team.
Curated community resources
Ktown Space helps curate and surface resources for the community. The live directory below, maintained through the Koreatown Community Hub, is what we keep updated: verified local services in food, housing, legal aid, healthcare, immigration, and more.
If you know of events, places, organizations, or resources that belong in this directory, or you need access to a space, let us know.
How we're funded
Ktown Space is self-funded at the moment and will continue to be through the planning and early stages. We're not asking for money right now. We're asking for your input on what this space should become.
A way to contribute financially will be available at a later time, once there's something concrete to support. Until then, the most useful thing you can do is share your thoughts below.
