Los Angeles, California's undiscussed creative capital, may not look to you as a place where initiatives aimed at championing the boundary-pushing talents that make the city a cultural must-visit are lacking — or, at least, it doesn't seem so from the outside.
Home to some of the most exciting curatorial platforms active across the US and the global arts scene, from the Future Perfect's West Coast outpost, a pioneer of the residential gallery model for collectible design, and the centrally located Melrose Hill district, where projects like Trevyn and Julian McGowan's African craft-focused gallery, Southern Guild, abound alongside the mazy homeware emporiums and showrooms scattered all around, to the countless studios you'll stumble upon while strolling through East Los Angeles and Downtown, the Californian city's streets come alive as a diffused creative hub.
