Mash Gallery and Haleh Mashian
Announce the Opening of a New Gallery
on August 25, 2018 in the
Arts District of Downtown Los Angeles
Haleh Mashian, artist and gallery owner announced today the opening
of a new Los Angeles curatorial commercial space, Mash Gallery, on August 25, 2018. Mash Gallery is a
2,000 square foot gallery building at 1325 Palmetto St., Los Angeles, CA 90013 in the Downtown Los
Angeles Arts District.
Mash Gallery will accommodate independent curators to manifest their vision and a venue designed to
create intimate conversations between those curators, artists, and the Los Angeles art audience. Mash
Gallery will place the commercial programming into the hands of an ever-changing rotation of curated
shows. This model of scheduling and presenting art installations mimics museum and nonprofit art spaces,
it is new territory for commercial art space. Instead of representing individual artists, Mash Gallery will a
show a robust schedule of compelling contemporary art shows.
Mat Gleason & Haleh Mashian
Haleh Mashian, owner of Mash Gallery, is an expressionist painter who works in a variety of mediums.
“Mash Gallery will be fresh,” says Mashian, “There will be programming and synergy with fashion, and
performance. Curating is about community, and we welcome artists and their networks to the gallery.”
Mashian’s goal is to build a place of creativity and connection for emerging and established artists, and
more importantly, understands the need to bring the audience along.
While a rotating series of curated shows is the norm for the non-profit and institutional sectors of the art
world, this is a fresh approach for a mid-size gallery. Mashian explains, “With every artist reaching buyers
on Instagram, giving the space to the vision of many curators makes more sense than representing the
next generation of artists who already have their own avenues of commerce.”
At Mash Gallery, spectacle and sophistication coexist for the pleasure of visitors. Mash Gallery will open
with “Incarnadine,” a group show curated by Mat Gleason on August 25, 2018.
