The Lab supports interdisciplinary artists' in the development and exhibition of new visual, media, literary, and performing art.

In the mid 1990s, the LAB helped the Clarion Alley Mural Project in the paintings of the murals one sees when walking into the Redstone Building to visit the LAB.
The LAB also hosts 2 visual and 2 performing artist residencies per year in their main gallery space, as well as workshops, panels, and performances.[2]
