The Local Group Show 5
About the exhibition
We are now accepting artist and vendor submissions for The Local Group Show 6, our annual group exhibition highlighting the creative diversity of Los Angeles County. Since 2019, The Local Group Show (TLGS) has celebrated 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.
The opening event for TLGS will take place alongside Stay Gallery’s 12th anniversary celebration and annual fundraiser in October, featuring a community art market, music, food, drinks, and free art activities.

Theme
TLGS highlights 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 personal 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.
