Gallery 17LB and Gallery 23LB

Alternative venues that exist in public places that allow artists to exhibit in at no cost.

Gallery 17LB and 23LB are two micro galleries located in the Wrigley neighborhood of Long Beach, CA at 2483 Eucalyptus Ave (in front of our residence) and at 2489 Eucalyptus Ave (right next door on the corner) where their existence is to share and/or promote art/artists by providing an alternative venue to show smaller scale art works with the larger community. No income is generated from any acceptance of an exhibit or from any sales. That is, any and all art works shown is free of charge with all sales being handled by the artist(s) with all proceeds going directly to the artist.

Shows/exhibits typically run one month with any openings on the first or second Saturday of the month.

Submissions

Anyone interested in either a solo/group show or even an installation, are most welcome to send an inquiry to daverclark55@gmail.com.

Note: the galleries are off a public sidewalk and across from an elementary school… so any exhibit should be reflective of the potential audience. Art that contains nudity, pornography, violence, hate, political statements, etc. will not be accepted.
