The Los Angeles Coastal Gallery Collective is a collective of 8 dynamic art spaces along the coastal westside of Los Angeles, comprised of artist-run projects, non-profits, and commercial galleries organized by Del Vaz Projects in order to reflect the vibrant and diverse community of art spaces along the city's coast.
From the historical L.A. Louver founded in 1975, to the grand opening of two new garage-galleries Sunset Courts and Extended Play, from longtime westsiders such as 5 Car Garage and Del Vaz Projects, to newer additions in the past few years like Zodiac Pictures, Central Server Works, and Long Play Contemporary, spaces range from conventional galleries to more alternative and domestic spaces.
