LA N
CV Art Exhibit
The Coachella Valley Art Center
and LGT! curatorial present LA n CV, a survey show of Los
Angeles area artists including painting, sculpture, photography, mixed media, drawing, video, and performance, curated by Mike McLain.
The reception will be held Saturday, February 15th
from 6-9pm, with a closing reception on Sunday, February
23rd from 1-4pm. Both
receptions will feature performances by Takeshi Kanemura.
The show will run from February 6th- 28th,
with gallery hours by appointment only.
Admission to the Coachella Valley Art Center and this exhibit is free
and open to the public. Please call (760) 799-4364 to schedule a visit.
This is part one of a two part survey that explores the
relationships between artists making work in the desert terrain of the
Coachella Valley and the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles’ cityscape. LA n CV will exhibit Angelinos at
Coachella Valley Art Center and CV n LA will exhibit desert artists
in the city (TBD). The show dates were
specifically chosen to correspond with the Palm Springs Art Fair and Modernism
Week events, both of which cause an influx of the LA Art Scene to the desert. For more information, please visit www.facebook.com/LGTart/events
