KvARTirnik in Westwood

Thursday, November 14th, 2024

Open Call for Kv(art)irnik in Westwood.

Kv(art)irnik is an independent organization that aims to provide an informal space for LA artists to communicate and share their work. We are inspired by the Soviet apartment exhibitions (kvartirniks), where underground artists of the time advocated for free experimental art and turned upside down the very idea of art exhibition. With our apartment exhibits, we strive to revive the traditions of underground art communities – and your artwork/performance can become a part of kv(art)irnik’s next show after completing a short survey that can be found in this link.  https://linktr.ee/kvartla

See you at the opening night!
