I went here awhile back for the Kaws art opening. It's a cool gallery, with kooky people inside…read morelike this lady wearing all neon with a wack ass fruit hat on top of her head. Obviously we couldn't afford any of the work (not that it wasn't already claimed by extremely wealthy people like Lance Armstrong) but it was fun. Only the first 100 people got inside and then I think people were stuck for a long time in a line. They seemed upset. Didn't happen to me.. the honest truth is if you are going to a special event here you should probably get there early. I think Kaws hurt my boyfriend's feelings when he wouldn't sign the Kaws companion he brought along. Oh well, not Honor Fraser's fault. Honor Fraser had on a really nice dress, not that this really impacts the gallery. The best part of the night had to do with the 3 Kaws rainbow heads. Two were on pedestals and one was on the ground, next to the pedestal as if it had fallen. Artistic choice for whatever reason.. but all the sudden this older guy picks it up and places it back on the pedestal, thinking he's helping out. It was so awesome because Kaws rushed over to fix it into the original place- back on the floor. He was looking pissed.

I came for the KAWS exhibit. Loved it!!!…read more Free entry Free street parking The whole gallery takes about less than an hr. Totally worth doing check out my pictures : )

Spiderman table with matching chairs is one of my favorites. J loves the Alien from the movie. There is also a skeletony Elvis in the likes of a recent anti-cigarettes commercial, as well as some wall art. This is something to cup your hands on the sides of your face and peer in the window if you're out walking about the dodgier (not dodgers) side of 6th. (sorry the photos came out crappy)

This art gallery is a wonderful discovery. Finally a 'over-the-hill-standard' gallery in the…read morevalley! I was stunned by the quality of the artists represented. Listed artists whose works hang in museums around the world! It is a hard to spot behind the trees that line the popular stretch of Ventura Boulevard. It sits on the south side of the street between Laurel Cyn & Coldwater Cyn, next to the famous 'Ivy' antiques center. The owner was lovely and chatted with us for a long time, no 'too-cool' frosty attitude here as usually given by galleries. From smaller drawings to huge paintings, photography and silkscreens, there's many beautiful pieces hanging on the walls!! I ended up buying a gorgeous painting and the owner actually drove it to my house and hung it for me! AND the frame was included in the price of the piece!!! Incredible service!!!!

If you are an art-lover, collector, enthusiast, supporter, patron or just curious to learn more…read moreabout the art scene in LA, then ForYourArt or FYA is the place to go. ForYourArt is an interdisciplinary producer and meta-curator, creating fresh initiatives through its hybrid model of projects, publishing and media platforms. They cultivate patronage and cultural engagement, i.e.: The Annual LA Art Weekend, a four-day event highlighting a comprehensive assortment of the city's contemporary art, architecture, and design hot spots. Ooh! Wait, it gets better... ForYourArt media provides tightly edited information from the perspective of cultural insiders. Projects produced by ForYourArt focus on promoting cultural philanthropy as they further develop tools for navigating the cultural landscape - a virtual map to the best destinations. FYA keeps readers current with emerging trends, must-see exhibitions and vital resources in Los Angeles and beyond. How cool is that!? Now there's no excuse for us creative refugees from abroad, transplants or art enthused cultural junkies. A LITTLE HISTORY on FYA ForYourArt was started in 2005 by Bettina Korek. After working at LACMA, where she worked for the Prints and Drawings Department to raise acquisitions funds, commissioning editions by artists including Raymond Pettibon, Shepard Fairey and Alexis Smith and producing the IFPDA Print Fair. Upon leaving Bettina joined the board of the Prints and Drawings Council, and continued to support the Department as a volunteer until 200X and led the Print Fair Committee. Bettina then worked in the Development office, launching the museum's first young patrons group, which she co-chaired as a volunteer from 2005-2009. Bettina then transferred to the Marketing and Communications Department. During this time, she launched pARTy, an event to bring the young patrons from LACMA, MOCA, the Music Center and the LA Opera together. Her experience at the nexus of curatorial, development and marketing activities, and the realization that these departments did not often collaborate within the museum led her to found ForYourArt in 2005. While working in the development department, she had started a weekly email highlighting art events in LA, responding to a need voice by potential young LACMA patrons. ForYourArt has evolved organically, acting both as a media entity and cultural producer and as an event production and public relations firm through its consulting division, FYAworld.

ROCK & ROLL PHOTOS…read more Located on Sunset Blvd., this cool photography gallery showcases shots of some of my favorite musicians. When I heard they had a show focusing on Madonna, I had to see it! I still have her albums - Madonna, Like a Virgin, True Blue - and some cassettes: Like a Prayer, The Immaculate Collection - so these pictures from the 80s brought back memories. Plus, it was fun to see photos of David Bowie, The Stones, and Dylan. Keith Richards standing next to a sign in customs that says "Patience Please... A Drug Free America Comes First!" is hilarious.

Haleh is wonderful, easy to work with, and seeks to be fair. She and her team work hard to make good things happen at the gallery. Lots of talented art exhibitions with lively openings. From my experience she pays in a reasonable time frame after a sale is made. I'm aware of an instance where an art work by another artist - a good friend of mine was slightly damaged, while in the gallery's possession and Haleh made good by the artist. Haleh also has a wonderful and kind employee named JoHee who helps run the gallery. If by chance Haleh is unavailable, you're also in great care with JoHee.
