Hyde Park Gallery LA is opening its doors for the first time on March 4th, with a Grand Opening Exhibition of the renowned glass artist Nao Yamamoto who appears on the “Blown Away” Series Season 2 on Netflix. The gallery, located at 2618 W Florence Ave, LA, CA 90043, will focus on the burgeoning art glass market, and will be the only gallery dedicated to this genre in Los Angeles.
The gallery was created by artist/designer Scott Slagerman who is an integral part of the current Los Angeles glass scene. Scott grew up in Los Angeles and studied glass and art during the late 70’s and 80’s when the American Glass Movement was just taking off. He then spent almost 20 years living and working in France as a glass artist and designer. He was won numerous awards for his unique work in this medium, with a piece in the permanent collection of the “Musee des Arts Decocrative” in Paris.
Hyde Park Glass Gallery was created to showcase this local glass scene and offer a platform for both established and emerging glass artists. The gallery will host artist receptions, art talks, special opening weekends, and tours of his expansive glass studio, as he wants the community to experience what’s going on around them behind closed doors and learn about the complexity of art glass creation.
