Culver City Los Angeles has fast become a wellspring of contemporary art, with young, hip galleries with edgy art that rivals both Downtown Los Angeles and Los Angeles’s Chinatown, and more traditional, established galleries juxtaposed within the same city block. The Culver City art galleries, centered around the intersection of Washington Blvd and La Cienega, show young, emerging artists from all over Los Angeles as well as the hottest artists from such artist hotbeds New York and Chicago. Just east of Downtown Culver City is the Culver City Arts District, which houses the highest concentration of art galleries in Southern California, making the Culver City Arts district ideal for the Sony-sponsored annual Artwalk Culver City in late spring.
You can’t walk down La Cienega Blvd between Venice Blvd and Washington Blvd without tripping over Sandroni Rey, Blum & Poe, Roberts & Tilton, Peres Projects, Kinkead, Koplin Del Rio, David Kordansky, or LAXART. Stop by Sandroni Rey to see emerging Los Angeles artist Farrah Karapetian’s wall-sized photographs exploring the passage of time through contemporary political landscapes. If you’re able to catch New York-based artist Sue DeBeer’s show at Sandroni Rey, prepare to be overwhelmingly swept away in teen-girl angst animus, both cuddly and creepy at once.
Stop by widely-known LA Contemporary for the works of more established international artists such as Banksy, Frank Gehry, Robert Rauschenberg, John Baldessari, or Venice-based artist Laddie John Dill, whose materially substantive abstract art weighs as heavy on the walls as it does on the mind.
Whatever your aesthetic desire, you’ll find what you’re looking for in the Downtown Culver City art galleries. Packed full of galleries featuring traditional and emerging paintings, prints, sculptures, photography, and mixed media, the Culver City Arts District is quickly making its mark in the always interesting, always thought-provoking Los Angeles arts scene.
The annual Artwalk Culver City takes place in late May and all Culver City art galleries and exhibition spaces are open from noon to 8pm. The annual event celebrates the relatively new Culver City Arts District full of both traditional and emerging art.
No visit to the Culver City Arts District is complete without a stop by Royal/T, the café/shop/art space that features the Japanese pop art of Takashi Murakami, Hideaki Kawashima side by side with the pop culture-drenched art of KAWS and Mr. Los Angeles’ first cosplay café features a full menu of breakfast, lunch, dinner, beers, wines, and other specialty drinks. Inspired by the meido kissa (maid café) phenomena of Toyko’s Akihabara district, Royal/T is sure to satisfy both your hunger and your imagination.
