Studio Visit with Ramiro Gomez and David Feldman
Gomez’s work is informed by the workers who tend gardens and care for children but are often invisible to the outer world. Join us for an in depth look at the artist’s studio and practice.
Our mix of lunchtime and evening events with 4-5 organizations per year, focus on exposing our giving circle members to dynamic partner organizations which the group will consider for a year-end grant. Our events take place in non-profit exhibition spaces, on-site public art projects or in private homes, where curators and artists discuss past and future projects. At the end of the year, our donors meet to vote on grant applications and host a celebratory event announcing our grantee(s). Angeles Art Fund provides access to artists at all stages of their careers, as well as invitations to gallery openings, museum tours and cultural events.

Remote Castration is a group exhibition that reflects on the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements and how they resonate with trajectories of feminist thought in contemporary art. The exhibition’s title is derived from a piece of graffiti—spotted in L.A. in fall of 2017—that serves as both provocation and barometer for a collective consciousness operating around gender and power today. After viewing the exhibition, AAF will meet at Salt’s Cure located at 1155 N Highland Ave, Los Angeles, CA.
Made in L.A. 2018 is the 4th iteration of the Hammer’s biennial exhibition, highlighting the practices of artists working throughout Los Angeles.
