TAG Gallery is proud to announce the 3rd annual LA Open Exhibition for 2020. This juried exhibition aims to serve as a gateway for a diverse range of artists in the greater Los Angeles area to display their artworks on Museum Row, home to four major Los Angeles museums. TAG’s calendar year commences with this vibrant exhibition of works by local artists to inaugurate TAG’s calendar year. Students and artists in all stages of their career are encouraged to apply! The focus of this exhibition is to illustrate that artists are strong and impactful when they come together to facilitate dialogue amongst varied styles of works. To this end, the viewer and artist alike are encouraged to make unapparent connections between works in an effort to facilitate an intimate and unique experience for each viewer.
