REN GALLERY OPENING NIGHT. YOU ARE INVITED! LX

REN GALLERY IS OPENING A BRAND NEW LOCATION THIS THURSDAY NOVEMBER 10TH 

5-10PM

YOU ARE INVITED! LX

JOIN US ON ART WALK

NOV. 10TH, 5-10pm 

743 S. Santee St. Los Angeles, CA 90014 

(Inside Santee Village Courtyard) 

The evolution of REN Gallery moves the gallery, and its family of artists, into a beautiful new space with soaring ceilings, massive factory windows and polished concrete floors located in heart of DTLA – taking step with the unparalleled growth of arts and culture in downtown Los Angeles. ​REN Gallery continues its tenure in the courtyard stroll of Santee Court, a 1913 Los Angeles Historical Monument running a city block parallel to South Los Angeles Street – between 7th and 8th – alongside fountains, seating, and trees. REN Gallery is now located just two doors South from our previous location.

"We are the ink that gives the white page meaning" - Jean Genet

Build a good name. Keep your name clean. Don’t make compromises, don’t worry about making a bunch of money or being successful — be concerned with doing good work and make the right choices and protect your work. And if you build a good name, eventually, that name will be its own currency." - William S. Burroughs 

MOVIETIME!

I really love the movie The Meddler. I'm so happy that my Bowie painting is in it. If you stay til the end you can see my name in the credits. Twice! Thank you Lorene Scafaria. Louisxxx
