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.
Art is for Sale by Artist and or Curator.
If you are interested in participating as an artist, as a curator, or if you would like to host a Phantom Gallery in your vacant storefront please contact our Executive Producer Liza Simone at Liza@phantomgalleriesla.com or (213) 626-2854.
