                                            Gallery Revisited opened as an outlet to nudge contemporary art gallery territories into flux, and to expose important artists to                    Los Angeles audiences. 
Multi-discipline works facilitated curatorial freedom and audience diversity in order for each artist's individual voice to be clearly heard.
                                            The structure of the gallery was a bridge between new/uncommon vs. traditional gallery dynamics. Programming highlights      included: 30+ contextualized curated solo and group shows; Visitor interactive places for exchange and education: Comment Box,
                                            Open-View Modular Flat File, Public Back Room/Salon; and Dynamic and unusual press packages.
