New Image Art @ 7908 Santa Monica Blvd. in Los Angeles

This is going to be a good one at a great venue with a fun vibe. It’s in the middle of nowhere though, right next to Ronin Gallery, in the thick of Echo Park. Just when you think, there’s no way there’s a gallery in the middle of this neighborhood, there they are. Worth the trouble to find, as they have some great shows coming up after this, including an Albert Reyes solo show in July. Really looking forward to that one.
