About

The Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery (LAMAG) is a dynamic cultural institution located in the Barnsdall Art Park in Los Angeles, California. Established in 1954, LAMAG is the longest running institution in Los Angeles devoted solely to exhibiting art. The gallery’s mission is to be responsive to the human experience and to inspire conversation about contemporary issues and ideas that resonate with the people of Los Angeles. LAMAG focuses on artists from Los Angeles, particularly underrepresented artists whose work may not otherwise have found a platform. The gallery’s commitment to promoting emerging and underrepresented artists has contributed to its influential status in the local and global art scene.

LAMAG offers free admission and a wide range of educational and public programs, making it a welcoming space for everyone, regardless of their background. The gallery’s educational programs, such as LAMAGLearn and LAMAGPlay, provide opportunities for visitors of all ages to engage with contemporary art through artist talks, events, performances, family workshops, and school and group visit programs. LAMAG’s commitment to fostering learning and creativity reflects its dedication to serving as a resource for examining and unpacking the nuances of the city through contemporary art.
