ABSTRACT : Night Gallery is Los Angeles' leading platform for emerging artists. Founded in 2010 by Davida Nemeroff, the gallery was first housed within a strip mall storefront in the city’s Lincoln Heights neighborhood, where openings were held between 10 PM and 2 AM. In 2013, Night Gallery moved to its current location near LA’s downtown arts district. In January 2022, Night Gallery launched Night Gallery North, an expanded gallery space neighboring its current location at the corner of Imperial and 16th Street. At nearly 14,000 square feet, this space enables the gallery to double its footprint and expand its installation and sculpture programming. Over the course of the past twelve years, Night Gallery has become the locus of the city's flourishing visual arts community, maintaining its commitment to artists of diverse backgrounds and points of view while raising its international profile. In 2016, Night Gallery was described by the New York Times as “arguably the epicenter of the underground art world in Los Angeles,” and roster artists have received accolades from publications including the LA Times, Vogue, Artforum, Cultured, and GQ. The gallery’s current programming echoes the joyfully experimental approach of its early years while continuing to support its thriving artists and their practices.
