A New Chapter For Open Mind Art Space

A New Chapter for Open Mind Art Space

Dear Patrons,

We have some important news to share regarding the future of Open Mind Art Space.After 7 years of wonderful memories and unforgettable exhibitions in our physical space, we have decided to transition from our traditional brick-and-mortar gallery to an online art gallery.  

Open Mind Art Space will move into the digital realm, which will allow us to reach a wider audience, share incredible artworks with art enthusiasts from around the world, and provide a more accessible art experience.

But don't worry, this doesn't mean goodbye to in-person interactions! We will be hosting occasional pop-up art exhibitions in various locations throughout Los Angeles. These events will continue to provide immersive opportunities to connect with artists and fellow art lovers, and experience the magic of art up close.

As we embark on this new journey, we want to express our sincere gratitude for your support throughout the years. You have been an essential part of our art community, and we genuinely appreciate your patronage, enthusiasm, and encouragement.

Please stay tuned for updates regarding our upcoming online and pop-up exhibitions. We will keep you informed through our newsletters and social media channels, ensuring you never miss a chance to engage with incredible art and connect with the artists that inspire us.

In the meantime, you can check out our existing online selection of fine art by our amazing artists, featured in our past exhibitions, on Artsy and our OMAS Shop.

We invite you to attend the closing reception for our 7th Annual Anniversary Exhibition on Saturday, June 10th from 5-8pm, which will be our final art party in the space. We will also be hosting our last Wine & Watercolor Workshop in the space on Sunday, June 11th from 3-6pm.

While we bid farewell to our beloved physical space, we look forward to the limitless possibilities of the digital world and sharing our love of art through unique, temporary art experiences. Together, let's forge ahead on this new adventure, celebrate the ever-evolving nature of art, continue to foster creativity and inspiration... and allow art to open our minds!

Thank you once again for your unwavering support, and we hope to see you at our final closing reception!

Sincerely,

Open Mind Art Space

Meet an Artist Monday: David Orr (LA Weekly)

“Artist David Orr is engrossed in the pursuit of knowledge, seeking through study and experiment the mandalic systems that form the natural order of the universe. Like a host of artists, musicians, philosophers, and scientists whose investigations into everything from the atom to the psyche to the weather have progressed human insight for millennia, Orr is omnivorous in his curiosity and eclectic in his expressions. At the heart of his visual art is a layered process of observation and interpretive design that yields compelling patterns giving shape to invisible forces—mandala-like and meditative, responsive to sacred geometry, and availing of digital cosmology. An exhibition of Orr’s new work in photography and video opens this week in Santa Monica, offering a space of wonderment and reset at the start of a new year.” — Shana Nys Dambrot, LA Weekly

Everyday is Everything: July 7-13, 2022 (LA Weekly)

POST CINEMA at Open Mind Art Space. “OMAS is participating in B-LA Connect, an international art exchange with curators and artists from Berlin and Los Angeles, with a group exhibition curated by panke.gallery (Berlin) and JAUS (LA). For decades, dreams of global utopia have been rushing over the airwaves and electronic superhighways into the clouds of the internet, flowing further into the (inter)streaming networks of today. These artists use various digital mediums to explore common themes throughout the history of cinema and TV within the context of today’s cyber world dominated by social media and virtual reality.”
