Although situated on the ground floor of a Century City office building and totally off the beaten track, it is worth the trek. The staff is kind and informative and the art is amazing. They switch their shows on a regular basis but do not have openings. Jonathan Novak Contemporary Art has been in this location for over 17 years showing abstraction as well as photorealism: Dine, Thiebaud, Botero, Lichtenstein, Long, Katz, Hodgkin, just to name a few. Call first to check on their hours, but for sure Monday through Friday. If you are looking to purchase established, blue chip artists, this is the place to go. You won't find emerging artists here, only the tried and true, featuring museum-quality artworks.

I had no idea this place existed until an Eventbrite ad caught my eye. Shiri Phillips was doing a…read moresolo show of here artwork. If you didn't know her work, it's the most fun, colorful and happy art at the intersection of Impressionism, portals and optical illusion, where you squint your eyes and each segment of color is like a pixel in a tapestry of interwoven color and texture. The vibe was amazing ing and I just had to go see this art and support this artist. I arrived and found an entire treasure trove of fascinating art by dozens of artists. Each style is unique and well worth coming by. Imagine walking through a museum of the most amazing only talented artists and all the art is for sale. I bought two pieces. One of Shiri's of course. The art is reasonably priced and there are many different sizes. I highly recommend Artspace Warehouse for some of the best talent in the L.A. art world. The staff is wonderful and extremely helpful and full of knowledge about each and every artist, the types of art and our chats were so chill- no pretentious vibes here. Just joy. This was really a thrill to see locals, families choosing art for their homes, and people like me who came a bit of a distance to share the art experience here. I highly recommend Artsoace warehouse.

The collection is housed in a old firehouse off of Adams Blvd. It gives an intimate feeling--as if you are in someone's living room. The city has been trying to give this place up for private ownership, but I hope this never happens--the city of Los Angeles needs to retain this space for future generations. Aside from the visiting collections, the staff provides arts and crafts workshops to school children on a variety of subjects, changing from month to month. There are also music lessons--piano, guitar, etc. offered to the youth. All free. Each time I have visited, it was the opening of a new exhibition, first it was the SNCC collection, and the second time it was a Nina Simone tribute, Both events had live music, appetizers, and wine---good times. I look forward to each new installment that debuts here.

Wow oh wow! Had no…read moreidea this little gem was in LA. I came today for the RETURN OF THE MECCA : THE ART OF ISLAM AND HIP-HOP exhibit. It opened Oct. 4th and runs till Nov. 22nd 2014. This exhibition showcases art through old newspaper clippings, tape cassettes, album covers, photography, video & film. It was dope to see the O.G's of Hip-Hop such as Eric B. & Rakim, Kwame, Big Daddy Kane, Public Enemy, X-Clan, Gang Starr, Queen Latifah, Ice Cube, Digable Planets, A Tribe Called Quest, Wu-Tang, Mos Def (Yasiin Bey) and others from the 90's. Malcolm X hand written letter to Alex Haley was on display also. This Saturday Chuck D is supposed to be there from 2-4pm. Next exhibit I believe is on black dolls. Come check it out for yourself. They also have dance, keyboard, beatmaking, poetry, and painting lessons for the youth. For the adults they have line dancing, keyboards & theater/film acting classes. Not only does this center get 5 stars the staff gets 5 *'s too. Everyone was very helpful and knowledgeable. Please come and support this local Art Center.

I'm from the city, a little protest doesn't scare me, so I walked past the megaphones to check out this "View from the Cheap Seats." Well I'll be damned, I don't know what the artist Richard Hoblock considers "cheap" but it sure as hell isn't the $20,000 paintings that look like a 5 year old found exactly two paint colors and decided to splosh them on a canvas. Is this "fine art?" Top it off with an elderly white man complaining loudly to the gallery about how he's been so attacked by the people outside, and I'm thinking, dude, you're making $20,000 a painting, and the protesters are frustrated they can't afford $2,000 studio apartments. Get grateful man. Is this what art has come to? I'd expect a lot more love and soul from an artist. Come to read later, the artist called the FBI on the youth protesters and claimed there was a hate crime against him. A white man. In a brown neighborhood. The View From the Cheap Seats and my experience at Chimento was surely, tacky, cheap (despite your price tags), low-class and I'm glad I decided to make my own decision about this gallery - because it sucked. I agree you should leave the neighborhood and take your "fine art" with you. I was really looking forward to seeing the FEED artists but I guess you kicked them out.
