We’re thrilled to host Carla's Ten Year Soirée & Art Auction—a celebration of the magazine’s first decade supporting contemporary art in Los Angeles. The auction features 103 artists contributing 5x7 inch works inspired by the beloved magazine blow-in card format—plus small-scale sculptures, ceramics, photographs, and more.
/ About
Founded in 2015 by artist and writer Lindsay Preston Zappas, Contemporary Art Review Los Angeles (Carla) is an essential voice made in and for Los Angeles. Carla is a nonprofit organization and publishing platform that is dedicated to providing critical, thoughtful, and inclusive perspectives on contemporary art. Our quarterly print magazine is an active source of dialogue on Los Angeles’ art community and is available for free in over 160 galleries and art spaces in L.A. and beyond.
Carla remains committed to building entry-points into the arts for the greater L.A. community, and in celebration of ten years of being an impactful presence in the landscape, we are hosting an anniversary soirée and art auction. The soirée will coincide with the release of the milestone 40th issue of our quarterly print magazine. The event will also feature our first-ever art auction of accessibly-priced works on paper by an impressive roster of L.A.-based. artists, many of whom have been featured in our pages over the last decade—the artists included will mirror Carla’s dynamic and inclusive coverage.
