Hi Friends!
The Annex LA is currently taking a hiatus. We’re not sure when we’ll be back in action, but we want to thank all the artists, musicians, vendors, and patrons for your participation and support over the past 1+ year. We couldn’t have done it without you, and we hope to be able to bring you more outstanding work again soon! If you have any questions in the meantime, please feel free to shoot us an email at gallery@theannexla.org. Thanks!

Happy Birthday, America! And happy summer to you! As the excitement of July 4th passes, our show this month harnesses the holiday’s energy to bring you an exhibition centered around various forms of intensity.

On the other hand, we’ve got deeply layered photo-montages, hauntingly painted oil portraits, watercolors that just might save your life.

JUNE! This month, named after the Greek goddess Juno, is the month of youth, and announces the beginning of the carefree days of summer with the summer solstice. Since these are the longest days of the year, we’ll be shifting our hours to stay open later! Instead of 4p-10p, June’s hours are bumped to 5p-11p. Hooray! In honor of our favorite season here at TALA, we’ll be bringing you work this month that reflects the sassy, vibrant, bare-shouldered attitude of L.A. ready to play.

As summer creeps up on the beautiful beast that is Los Angeles, we wanted May’s event to reflect this period of transformation, of simultaneous coming and going, gaining and losing. With that in mind, we’re pleased to bring you abstract paintings of synchronic absence and presence, collages that collides urban with rural, photos that blur the lines between individuals, and so much more!
