I have been putting off framing several prints forever, and after getting laid off a few months…read moreago, I found myself with some extra time. Three of the prints I brought in were from my friend Brian Viveros and extremely precious to me. He personally recommended I come here because it's now where he gets all his stuff framed. How could I not trust the artist himself? The staff were so lovely and knew exactly who Brian was, and recommended options in the styles he prefers so it would really pair well with the print. It took about a week and very reasonably priced for the amazing work they did. Parking is a bit challenging here, but I think just plan for that ahead of time. I went right at time of opening and got a spot right in front of the store. Happy to support a family-owned business and will continue to recommend them, and use them for any new artwork I acquire in my future.

I'm grateful that such a creative space is only a short walk away from my place in Venice Beach! After all, art makes the world go round, as well as stimulates the mind & dances with creativity! Oct 2019 & March 2023/Edward & Nancy Kienholz: Speaking of Merry-Go-World, it was one of the most fun & wildly popular shows I have attended thus far at LA Louver! I decided to walk over to the gallery solo! I'm so happy I did, such a colorful exhibit with a spinning wheel, blinking lights & music! Imagine, a merry-go-around inside of an art gallery...FUN! Once I stepped inside of the actual carousel to hear my fortune read... To my wonderful surprise, the words displayed said I would be... A rich woman in Paris! Haha! Last night, their word play displayed upstairs was plenty of fun, as they framed the walls! Jan 25, 2023/Alison Saar: While returning home from my walk on the beach, I ran into my neighbor/artist, and she invited me to African American Artist Alison Sars opening at LA Louver! We had a great time! What a show, it was packed! Her artwork made such a huge statement & spoke volumes about African American hair, as well as further messages that commanded the room. A behind the scenes video upstairs of Alison at work was amazing! Happy Meeting: While at LA Louver, I've been able to ask questions & speak to Artist Alison Saar at a Saturday brunch, run into some of my neighbors, as well as attended shows with my neighbors, & met new creative people! In fact, while waiting in line to go into the Merry-Go-World, I ended up meeting someone who's a great friend to this day, which invited me into a whole other world of art shows, museums & events! Imagine that! March 29, 2023: Graffiti/Fine Artist: The Gajin Fujita opening reception was fun: emblazoned with strong color, graffiti & especially the gold leaf of it all rocked my world! There were plenty of stylish people mingling about, both upstairs & downstairs, as the colorful art sparked the imagination of the crowd & conversation poured out excitedly! My drink of choice was a few sips of sake. I was grateful that my friends and I were giving access beyond the gray velvet ropes to the 3rd level to view more artwork of Gajin Fujita! (Thanks, again!) Artist Deborah Butterfield: Her horse sculptures have me in awe! #Love I can't help but take in the beauty each time I spot her work at LA Louver. Christmas 2022, after stepping off of a plane, I saw one of her larger than life horse sculptures while walking through the airport, and it stopped me in my tracks!! Haha! Overall: LA Louver is a wonderful gallery to buy art, browse & enjoy art... and maybe even take a walk on the boardwalk & step onto the sand, as it's right at Venice Beach! Score! In fact, I stopped by earlier today to see the show, once again, in detail & up close, minus the lively crowd from last night!!

*** "You've gotta have art ... all you really need is art ..." ***…read more That's the commercial jingle that I recall most from childhood. Detroit Institute of Arts ran that ad relentlessly on television. Now I can't imagine life w/o it; what's life w/o imagination? LA Louver was the first gallery I visited when i moved to LA. Why? Location, location, location! Perfect when walking along the beach. So whenever I decide to cruise the Venice broadwalk, I try to stop in. Today was no exception. I went down to the beach after a late lunch. I parked east on N. Venice Blvd then started walking to the gallery. From that perspective, I will walk by the adjacent brick bldg first. That's so I can see the mural of the industrialist, Abbott Kinney. LA Louver exhibits are a mix but mostly modern art pieces. You won't be buying anything here most likely because pieces sell for $5,000~1,000,000. Perhaps a 401K for a Hockney piece? I've posted pics of the pieces I liked most ... an amazing oil painting and a bronze sculpture that looks remarkably like it's made of wood. *** A gallery walk is free. I'm sooo glad b/c it is a joy to glimpse. ***

On my first visit, the Culver City Book Fair was occupying the back garden space and it was a lot fun to walk through browsing through books and chatting to publishers. The museum itself was a hodge podge of Cold War artifacts (statues, Soviet books, assorted items like cameras and recording machines and mementoes) displayed along with art on the walls. Local California-artists are sometimes represented with their photographs and painting also taking up space during some of their special exhibits, as the curators try to align the theme of communism with left-wing ideas of social justice and racial discrimnation. Beyond the art on the walls, however, and far more interesting, are LOTS of special events and regular programs like (free) yoga, meditation, lectures/talks, amazing jazz music on certain evenings. The museum sends out a newsletter monthly listing all the upcoming events. All in all a fantastic (cost-free) resource for the Culver City community and for the Westside of LA in general.

It captures the viewpoints of those who lives under communist and socialist regimes. To be honest... it was one of the more boring museums I've been to. As someone who enjoys most museums, I was still really bored here. Nevertheless I know it's important to capture history and all points of views. There is also a small garden that connects an event center to the museum. There was an event on the day we came, but I'm not sure what the event was. Overall the museum is on the smaller side. You can probably walk through the entire floor in under an hour. Take a glance if you're in the area and looking to kill time, but I don't think you need to go out of your way for this place.
