Please join us for a discussion about the development of alternative art spaces, specifically throughout the Southern California region. In this virtual discussion, we will hear from several professionals who have either founded or currently run alternative art spaces in the Southern California region, and will address questions like, what makes an art space “alternative?” How are these spaces addressing the underserved needs within the local art world? Our panelists will speak to how their respective organizations are implementing alternative methods in order to reach their goals and further their missions.

Panelists: Jordan Karney Chaim, Art historian, writer, and independent curator; Kristine Schomaker, Director, Shoebox Projects; Joy Silverman, Former Executive Director, LACE; Board Member, Feminist Center for Creative Work

The discussion was moderated by Liza Shapiro, Director & Co-founder of CURA.
