Alberto Keossian is a Los Angeles-based interdisciplinary artist and arts practitioner whose experience spans across arts administration, program development, and community engagement. Rooted in a fascination with the dynamics of human interaction and meaning-making, his artistic practice explores the intimate complexities of interconnectivity and what emerges through collective experience. These inquiries extend into his work as a practitioner, where he curates and develops collaborative, engagement-driven initiatives that foster meaningful connections between art, cultural institutions, and the communities they serve. He currently serves as the Learning and Engagement Coordinator at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, Founding Co-Director of MOTOR, and Membership Engagement Board Member of Museum Educators of Southern California. Alberto holds a BA from UCLA and has exhibited, curated, and programmed throughout the greater Los Angeles area.
