Culture’s Last Stand was the art gallery of Ira and Bernice Lipshutz, my grandparents, in Chicago in 1965.

It focused on modern art, in pursuit of a new discovery of expression. The gallery didn’t last long, but the idea still remains.


At CLS, we bring together people who want to use storytelling to challenge the way we think, learn, and spark conversation around our world. We bet on the content, products, and people who can do just that.




We are a creator collective that values all paths to new discoveries of expression.


A percentage of revenue on every project is given to another creator.


Where the journey and intent of your work matters as much as the outcome.
