LACE (Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions)

LACE is the longest-running incubator for contemporary artists and curators in Los Angeles!

A non-profit arts organization founded in 1978, we are located in the heart of Hollywood on The Boulevard since 1994. While the contemporary art community in Los Angeles has grown and expanded over the years, LACE plays a unique role in the L.A. art scene. Without the constraints of a commercial gallery, LACE is free to serve as venue for the incubation of and discourse on emerging and experimental works. LACE maintains long-term relationships with a community of artists who value the support of its team. More than a venue in which to hold exhibitions or events, LACE is a partner in highlighting a diverse array of works and ideas for the public, including those from outside the traditional art world.

The L.A. art community is an essential audience since the abundance of art schools and cultural and entertainment climate are a huge attractor to the region. LACE is a gathering place central to creative life. Hundreds of people participate in exhibition openings and panel discussions. LACE is committed to creating online content in support of artists and artistic dialogue but the physical community gatherings are key to its success.In addition to the artists and members of the cultural community that seek out LACE for its programs, the gallery’s accessible and free-to-the-public storefront location attracts business travelers and tourists as well as a growing group of Angelenos that live nearby.
