VWC at Arm Gallery
No more land West
2020 - 2021Visitor Welcome Center lovingly presents No More Land West, a series of exhibitions by 30 artists at Arm Gallery. As we gently seek a new and accessible location as well as an expansive and inclusive model from which to operate, we will continue 2020’s programming on the left arm of John Burtle. After five years on the corner of Koreatown's 7th and Westmoreland, and in the midst of the world taking a break from each others' company, No More Land West asks each artist to take up humility and work small for a moment, with the hopes of when this is all over, each piece and all of us can be together in the same room, once again.
