Audrey Chan (b. 1982, Chicago, Illinois) is a Los Angeles-based artist whose research-based projects center community stories to challenge dominant historical narratives through allegories of power, place, and identity. Her projects often activate personal and public archives to uplift intersectional solidarities, taking on democratized forms such as murals, drawings, paintings, posters, comic books, flash cards, kites, newspapers, and an AR monument.
Public art commissions in Los Angeles include Will Power Allegory at the Little Tokyo/Arts District Station for Metro Art and The Care We Create for the ACLU of Southern California. Chan has been awarded fellowships from the California Arts Council, California Community Foundation, Artists at Work for the National Center for the Preservation of Democracy at the Japanese American National Museum, and the 18th Street Arts Center California Creative Corps. She has been recognized as a DCA Cultural Trailblazer by the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs and as USC Pacific Asia Museum’s Artist Awareness and Impact Honoree. Chan has been an artist-in-residence with the ACLU of Southern California, OxyArts (with Monument Lab and the Mellon Foundation), Sam Francis Gallery, l'école régionale des beaux-arts de Nantes, and currently with the Los Angeles County Vision Zero initiative in Florence-Firestone. She is the recipient of a 2026 City of Los Angeles Independent Master Artist Project (COLA IMAP) Grant. Her work is in the collections of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, USC Pacific Asia Museum, and the Chinese American Museum. Chan received an MFA from California Institute of the Arts and a BA with Honors from Swarthmore College.
Audrey Chan is a resident artist at 18th Street Arts Center.
