Building on the successes of Los Angeles Art Association’s Go Native Film Screening in September and the Go Native exhibition at Gallery 825 in October, Go Native: Installed is the third event associated with our L.A.-themed Go Native programming. This off-site exhibition encourages the development of persistence, effort, and risk-taking – all crucial characteristics of non-traditional exhibition environments. LAAA Executive Director Peter Mays states, “Go Native: Installed will explicitly offer L.A.’s most non-traditional artists an opportunity to expand and realize their singular artistic visions - fulfilling the potential of the city-wide Go Native programming.”
ABOUT GO NATIVE: As one of the oldest surviving non-profit arts organizations in California, Los Angeles Art Association is ideally poised to initiate a community discussion about the emerging artists' view of our shared cultural and civic landscape. Toward that end, we are please to announce “Go Native,” a multi-media project focused on giving local emerging artists the opportunity to comment on LA's cultural and socio-economic landscape, while enhancing and advancing the important role that these artists play in our shared civic, economic and cultural development.
About Phantom Galleries L.A._Phantom Galleries LA is a Los Angeles 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, and Property Owner. 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 Galleries in San Jose.
