But first of all....
I wish everyone a happy, joyful and successful new year.May everything you wish for come true!
But, back to the topic.
I'd like to give you brief information about an art gallery in LA.
A very unique one.....
Phantom Galleries is an LA county-based organization that transforms vacant storefront windows into 24/7 public art galleries. Each installation is a unique relationship between the participating Artist, Curator, Property Owner and the Community that the exhibit is in. Exhibits are curated by local Arts Organizations, Los Angeles based Galleries, Independent Curators, and Los Angeles based Artists. The project gives local artists an opportunity to exhibit their work, while fostering economic development by drawing attention to available retail space. The project promotes the creative communities of Los Angeles to a broader audience. By pooling our resources we can create goodwill and a sense that Los Angeles is a single community booming with culture.
Phantom Galleries LA is inspired by and modeled after the successful
Phantom Gallery in San Jose.
