Mission Statement
LACE (Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions) encourages people and projects working across diverse creative forms to interrogate the boundaries of culture and artistic practice. LACE exhibitions, performances, screenings, dialogs and other public forums strive to inspire the public imagination and to expand interactions between art and audience. Located in the heart of Hollywood, LACE contributes to the activation of Los Angeles' urban landscape and champions art's ability to engage with the timely issues that shape local and global life.
Description
LACE was started over 30 years ago, to supplement the need for a Los Angeles venue that supports, exhibits and advocates innovations in contemporary visual art-making and connects art and audiences. Since its inception in 1978, programs at LACE have provided the impetus for dialogue about contemporary arts and culture. By encouraging experimentation, LACE has nurtured not only several generations of young and under-recognized artists, but also newly emerging art forms such as performance art, installation-based work, video art and artwork created with digital technologies.
