Transforming Creative Vision into Sustainable Impact
For nearly three decades, Electric Lodge has been a cornerstone of Venice Beach’s creative spirit—a home for authentic artistic expression, bold experimentation, and vibrant community collaboration.
In 2024, the organization partnered with Trepwise to chart a sustainable, high-impact vision for its next chapter. Historically bootstrapped and heavily reliant on earned income, Electric Lodge sought to clarify its value proposition ahead of the 2028 LA Olympics and diversify its revenue streams to better support its mission.
