Submission Guidelines

For our policy on unsolicited exhibition proposals, please see below.

 

-The gallery’s exhibition program is planned at least three years in advance and we are, therefore, rarely able to accommodate unsolicited proposals for exhibitions.

-Please note that, while all submissions are reviewed, the gallery receives hundreds of proposals a year and therefore it may not be possible to respond to each one individually. Unsolicited proposals are reviewed twice a year.

-Before submitting a proposal, please consider whether your work is appropriate to the gallery’s mission and history.

-LAMAG presents the art of emerging, mid-career, and established artists from culturally diverse Southern California, as well as the work of international artists that are of relevance to the people of the City of Los Angeles, through large thematic group exhibitions as well as solo exhibitions.
