Please know this is by no means a complete listing of all the art happenings in LA, nor do we try to attempt to be that, as there are many great sources for that. We strive to direct you towards exhibits that we plan to check out ourselves. Most shows we suggest fall within the realm commonly referred to as lowbrow, pop surrealism, outsider, new contemporary, urban contemporary, graffiti, etc. Enjoy!
