Brand Library & Art Center is pleased to present “Neighborhood Ecology,” a love letter to Southern California’s vibrancy, diversity, and the dynamic communities tucked in its storied neighborhoods.
“Neighborhood Ecology” brings together a group of local artists whose work highlights different aspects of various Southern California environs: how the area is seen by non-locals, how it is experienced by its residents, and how the community celebrates their identity. The artwork explores the many facets of the region – its boosterism, its visible societal concerns, its flora and fauna, its historic manmade landmarks, and its passionate residents. The exhibition includes works by Andrea Bersaglieri, Jonathan Casella, Christopher Chinn, Baha Danesh, Susan Feldman, Aroussiak Gabrielian, Jazmin Garcia, Josh Hash, IBARRA, Fredrik Lidskog/Impermanent Art, Megan Mueller, Jynx Prado, Felix Quintana and Jaime Scholnick.
In addition to the professional artists featured in “Neighborhood Ecology,” young artists from all five high schools in Glendale Unified School District are presenting artwork that examines their own neighborhoods.
This exhibition is part of the 2026 Hyper SoCal initiative, which brings awareness to nonprofit and municipal art venues supporting working artists in Southern California.
“Neighborhood Ecology,” which is curated by GLAC Exhibition Coordinator Stephanie Sherwood, is on view January 31 – May 9,2026. The Opening Reception will be held on Saturday, January 31, 2026, 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM. For more information, visit: BrandLibrary.org.Gallery.
