Juried Exhibition 2018 Champions LA’s Emerging Talent - July 26 to September 16 at Barnsdall Art Park

Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery's Juried Exhibition 2018, a large-scale group exhibition introducing a new generation of LA artists, takes place from July 26 - September 16 at famed Barnsdall Art Park (4800 Hollywood Boulevard). Awarded biannually by the Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA), the pioneering Juried exhibitions have been running for six decades and this year’s show builds on its legacy, providing a platform for emerging artists in SoCal since 1953 to exhibit at one of the country’s few remaining municipal art galleries. This year's show will feature the work of over 50 students and recent graduates across artistic disciplines from painting and ceramics to photography and installation, exploring and igniting conversations around topical themes from identity politics and intersectionality to 'prepper' culture and psychoanalytic theory; as well as the relationship between images and truth in a digital age at a time when the concept of “truth” is being questioned. There will be vibrant programming throughout the run including a conversation about how artists get representation on Sun, Aug 26 at 2pm and a closing day performance on Sat, Sept 15 at 2pm by Black Salt Collective with live sets of eclectic sounds complemented by interactive live video-mixing and spontaneous performance.
