There are plenty of doses and guides on the short weekend days that they're open.(usually Thursday through Sunday from 11AM to 5 PM.) as a smaller museum it's not gonna have any of the well-known famous people on exhibit. However, you'll find a unique collection of many local artists with a very wide range of talents. The reception desk is very friendly and all docent are knowledgeable about the exhibits. When free admission is available it's an outstanding value. This is also a family, friendly museum, although there is no touching but a good place to introduce your family members to new art forms. Parking is free and entrance is accessible from the handicap parking by entering from the no step side entrance next to the Hollyhock house. A great place to spend a couple hours for a very low price and see quite interesting art on a constant changing and rotating basis.

Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery is a city-run gallery in a beautiful building in Barnsdall Park,…read morewhich is how I ended up on its mailing list (oh, Friday night wine tastings, I remember you from before I had children). I got an email about the COLA IMAP Design and Visual Artists Exhibition, featuring new work by six mid-career L.A. artists, and decided to check it out. It was a quick, pleasurable visit. The gallery was attractive and inviting, with plenty of space devoted to each artist's work. The artists featured were all connected to L.A. in one way or another: Patricia Fernández, Wakana Kimura, Michael Massenburg, Duane Paul, Elyse Pignolet, and Kyungmi Shin. I wasn't really familiar with any of them, and I enjoyed the introduction. LAMAG is free and open to the public with easy parking, so I'd definitely recommend checking it out, especially if you make it part of a larger exploration of Barnsdall Park (the park is lovely, and the Hollyhock House is fantastic). It's small, so don't expect the full museum experience, but it's well worth your twenty minutes.

Los Angeles is an extremely important region when it comes to the history of the Gay Leather…read moreCommunity in the United States. Many people know all about NYC and the seminal Stonewall Rebellion. And "Gay Ghettos" like the Castro district in San Francisco. They are much less likely, however, to be aware that Los Angeles is the home to the longest continually existing gay organization in the world: the Satyr's Motorcycle Club, celebrating its 70th year. In fact, when you do a little research, you will find that Gay and Leather culture has an embarrassment of riches in Los Angeles. Tom of Finland (born Touko Valio Laaksonen) is an artist whose forty-plus years of work portrayed sexy, masculine Gay men. His depictions of such men has had an enormous impact on how Gay Men across the globe have presented themselves to the world. It is damn near impossible to go to a Gay Men's bar (Leather or not) and not find his imagery somewhere in the decor. The Tom of Finland Foundation, celebrating its 40th year in 2024, is dedicated to the work of Tom of Finland and promoting erotic art, including hosting up-and-coming artists. It was founded by Tom and former partner and muse, Durk Dehner in 1984. The ToFF is located is located in the former home of Tom, who died in 1991. The home is a 1912 Craftsmen style house in the Echo Park/Silverlake neighborhood. Besides for being kept in beautiful condition, every possible space is utilized to feature the work of Tom or other erotic artists. As Betty Wood put it, is the "phallus-filled former home of artist Tom of Finland." And at the summit of this grand estate is the former bedroom of Tom, lovingly kept as it was prior to his death. As an organization, the ToFF hosts an array of events. These include such things as salons for drawing live nudes (in various levels of eroticism), hosting dinner parties for Gay Men who enjoy uniforms and leather formal wear and tours of the house's enormous art collection. As the ToFF serves as a museum and cultural center AND the living quarters of the co-founder Mr. Dehner, his partner and the various artists-in-residence, it is not open for regular hours. Luckily, the online calendar is frequently updated, so you can determine when a particular event or tour is available. The Tom of Finland Foundation is a non-profit organization. They rely on donations from various groups and individuals to keep the house and foundation afloat. For most events, the entrance fee is about 25 dollars. This was all I payed for a single evening, which included dinner, at a Yule-tide themed party. Again, know that this money is going directly to supporting this organization and the artists-in-residence. If you have any interest in Gay and/or Leather history, this place is absolutely not-to-be-missed. This is the home of easily the most famous Gay erotic artist, the house is beautifully maintained and the art collection is always in flux and I have been to dozens of events here and have always thoroughly enjoyed myself. Highly recommended.

What an experience at the historic Tom House of the Tom of Finland Foundation…read more A collection of wonderful and exotic art highlighting sexuality, culture, gender, and creativity over the last four (since 1984) decades that is literally in, on and/or apart of every crevice, patched crack, updated fixture, beam, pillar and inch of the entire property... From front to back. Came for a Saturday tour with my friend Andrew for his extended birthday weekend. They have a few slots, the first at 2PM, we got there a few minutes after due to high volume traffic for St Patty's weekend, but thankfully there's a little relaxing portions on the porch with a cool mix match assortment of furniture and fixtures. Durk Dehner, one of the co-founding members and a former partner of Tom himself, was our guide... He talks about the story of how it all came about as well as Tom House eventually becoming a historical and cultural landmark for the City of Los Angeles. The tour is two hours so where good shoes and bring a water, though they do have bottles as well. It goes by super fast and taking pictures is allowed as well as encouraged. During our tour we got to meet some artist staying at the house, a lot of volunteers and staff archiving and planning away. Everyone was incredibly warm, just like this estate. I haven't been lucky enough to attend an event, just yet, but hopefully in the very not to distance future as they have some fun stuff on their event calendar. They have the coolest multi-level backyard and landscaping you'll ever find in LA... Lush with plant life, paths an actual full bar, multiple lounge areas, more art (of course) including along the driveway and on the sides of the house. The gift shop is pretty cool (I got a few fun things, including a pin for under ten and a complimentary Tom of Finland dog tag). We got to meet the home kitty, Durks pretty snowy mixed, cool cat waking from an afternoon nap at the end of our tour... A purrfect highlight. As a not for profit, ToFF aka Tom of Finland Foundation is beyond dedicated to preserving as well as protecting art and artists, being an advocate for the lgbtq+ community and highlighting queer creatives, erotic art, sexuality and freedom of expression. All are welcome and celebrated at ToFF. All are encouraged to enjoy! Q-Tip: They do have memberships which include cool club cards, a member patch, invitations to special events as well as discounted tickets for selected ToFF events. Tom's Kale ensures the above, but if that's a bit steep supporting them with the Tom's Friend membership is more than okay. If you're an artist you reap some cool rewards and a great value.

My collection was carefully built and contained holy grails and the true tech advanced animation art from the multi plane camera work depicting The Old Mill and all the way through the late 40's. Never once was I mislead or displeased with their fine guidance and artwork. In fact, it was because of the above, I was able to recently sell the entire collection to fund my present business project. Know I will be back to rebuild a new collection with GAI. It's just the best and I'm excited that I can work with them again. And no, I'm not a relative.

It took two months and several phone calls including calls to my credit card company to get my money back. Downsized my home and asked the gallery to help me try to move a couple pieces. They only work with you when they get you to spend money. No business ethics, if you are looking for animated art, use a different gallery. It's like dealing with car salesmen. They don't appreciate or value their clients, just push their art down your throat, one person in particular. I will not mention his name, has that gift of B S to hook you in to buy. Nobody to blame but myself. Would never do business with these people ever again. I had to block their number because they kept calling me trying to sell me more pieces.
