The Good Luck Gallery, located in the heart of the Chinatown arts district, is the only gallery in Los Angeles to specialize in self-taught art. Whether it is called Outsider, Folk Art, Naive or Visionary, the emphasis is on artists who are driven by a compulsive need to create and who work beyond the margins of the traditional art world. The gallery is owned and curated by Paige Wery, who brings twenty years of experience and a passion for intuitive art to the venture. For six years she was the publisher of Artillery, Southern California’s premier art magazine. The Good Luck Gallery – which opened in 2014 – brings attention to the purity and vitality of work that speaks for itself, without formal training or need of critical interpretation. Established artists are shown, as well as the emerging and overlooked, and every form of art – from painting, drawing and sculpture to performance and installations – will be on display. In addition to regular gallery shows, an online shop features paintings, ceramics, thrift store finds, handmade arts and crafts, as well as zines and literature.
Established August 2013, Slow Culture was founded as an independent art gallery located in the Northeast Los Angeles neighborhood of Highland Park. With an exhaustive schedule of programming, the gallery has been focused on developing a narrative of it’s own over the past 3 years. From art shows, commercial projects, to off site exhibits, an extensive range of media has been explored. During this time, the concept has evolved from gallery to a culture based platform. Committed to sustaining this growth, Slow Culture felt the need to find a new home. With an established community of art galleries and proximity to Downtown Los Angeles, Chinatown felt like the right location. This new space will provide the gallery flexibility to expand it’s concept and provide their community a facility to help foster their creative growth. Slow Culture’s focus is to develop a both physical and digital platform to support artists & creatives across all mediums.

IAO’s work embraces three primary areas of intent: We Innovate by creating an environment that encourages new exploration of the olfactive arts, fostering discussion and experience of scent through strategic cross-discipline projects, and by providing space for experimentation in our Perfumers’ Lab. Similarly, we facilitate new creative practices spanning the popular and fine arts through project-based residency and research programs. We Educate by generating greater public awareness of scent and perfumery and by helping emergent perfumers gain greater knowledge, exposure and skills. As well, we inform the public about social and scientific issues that impact the art form. We do this by offering ongoing series of classes and workshops, and through a public speaking series. We Support by advancing the art of perfumery and the work of independent scent creators through business mentorships and creative partnerships, and with our ongoing creative residency programs in our Los Angeles chief facility. In 2013 we launched the Art and Olfaction Awards, an awards mechanism devoted to promoting and advancing independent and artisan perfumers. More information can be found at artandolfactionawards.com

From its inception, as a not for profit organization, Artcore has dedicated itself to the task of finding and exposing artists locally and internationally whose work shows dedication, excellence and originality. Artcore focuses on artists of all walks of life spurring the creativity of both emerging and established artists. Artcore's operative word has always been "opportunity," both for the artists, and for the community to have access to art. Artcore is committed to its mission of making art accessible without the constraints of the market economy. As such it exercises freedom of choice based strictly on quality and contribution to the community. One of our strategies is to expand contact between visual artists regionally and internationally by seeking the artists’ involvement in our vision. Another strategy is to draw increasingly diverse audiences from the widest possible spectrum of our community. Mature developed artists will establish year-round art programs and workshops designed for children, youth and adults to discover visual arts and its core values.

We’re going to create a gallery show of fine art prints of drawings and paintings created by kids. Children's art often gets overlooked because, like all other art, exceptional pieces can get lost in a sea of less interesting ones. Kids usually draw on inexpensive paper which can get dirty and smudged; the paints, crayons and colored pencils used are also not so great; sometimes there are several paintings or drawings on the same piece of paper, and you have to pick and choose the best ones. We’re going to curate kids' art the same way any gallery curates "grown-up" art. We'll photograph the chosen pieces, perform basic color and contrast corrections, clean them up, print them on museum quality watercolor paper and frame them professionally. On August 25 from 5 to 9 pm – during Chinatown Summer Nights – we’ll host a Drawing Room For Kids at the Gallery at 945 Chung King Road. Any child will be welcome to come in and draw as much as they want. There will be crayons, colored pencils, markers and an endless supply of paper on hand. If they choose to participate, their artwork will be considered for a gallery exhibition. The best work - curated by Mat Gleason of Coagula Gallery and Magazine and gallery owner Ed Freeman among others – will be included in a show that will open later in the year. Proceeds from sales will be divided among the artists, the gallery and Chinatown Service Center's Youth Program for the Arts.
