The Local Group Show 5
About the exhibition
We are now accepting artist and vendor submissions for The Local Group Show 5. Conceptualized in 2019 by Stay Gallery, this annual group exhibition highlights the creative diversity of Los Angeles County. The Local Group Show (TLGS) strives to celebrate the diverse stories and expressions of local artists in a collective space for friends, family and art lovers to enjoy. Artists of all ages, backgrounds and stages in their careers are welcome to submit.
Our team is grateful for the artists and community members that have participated in the TLGS over the years, and it has been a joy to watch it grow and evolve. For our fifth year, we are excited to share that the opening event for the exhibition will take place alongside our 11th anniversary celebration and annual fundraiser in October, with the addition of a community art market component.

Theme
TLGS illuminates the creative diversity of our home, Los Angeles County. We are seeking artworks that embody how your experiences, relationships, neighborhoods, and/or communities have impacted or shaped your story, values, and/or identity – as an individual, creator or member of the collective. You are welcome to openly interpret this theme in any way that feels innate, instinctive or comfortable to you.

In alignment with our nonprofit's mission, we are prioritizing eligible artists that live, work, or are from the Southeast Los Angeles - Gateway Cities region. If you do not have a connection to Southeast Los Angeles, we still encourage you to apply. This will not disqualify you from the exhibition.
