ALAC is a product of Los Angeles unique cultural community composed of an incredibly diverse array of artists, galleries, curators, institutions, collectors and enthusiasts. Entering its ninth year, ALAC continues to play host in a city that has emerged as a powerful cultural hub, as illustrated in the success of the Getty s PST: LA/LA initiative, the constant growth of the gallery scene, and the recent inaugural openings of numerous institutions.
