• In Town — Los Angeles and environs

In this day and age, when art has become more of a commodity and artists are convinced that they can only make a living from their work by attaining gallery representation, it is more important than ever to show the reality of how a professional, contemporary artist sustains a creative practice over time, particularly through alternative means.

In this conversation moderated by Gas founder/director Ceci Moss, Offal exhibition artists Panteha Abareshi and gloria galvez will discuss their experiences, showing how it is possible to sustain a creative practice that contributes to the ongoing conversation in contemporary art and redefining what “success” means to a professional artist.
