Our club was started by Larissa Kolesnikova in 2021 to contribute to and support the vibrant art community in Los Angeles. The club’s goal for 2022 was to elevate artists without LA gallery representation, specifically immigrants. During 2024 we have been focused on talking to Los Angeles Art collectors, who support the local art scene and are intentional about their collecting. In 2024-2025 our curatorial program is focused on All Things Future, where we speak to artists working with AI, machine learning, augmented reality, and speculative architecture. You are welcome to attend our talks across different venues in Los Angeles. All talks are free to the public.

JOIN OUR CLUB! Our membership is now open. We are thrilled to offer 4 levels of membership to accommodate anyone with aligned values. From young adults to seniors, from the person on a budget to an abundant entrepreneur, all are welcome to join our dynamic group. Become a member Members get free access to our exclusive events in Los Angeles.

NEWS! We are thrilled to further our community engagement and collaborate with local Malibu institutions. Our forthcoming talk series will be hosted by the Frederick R. Weisman Museum, located at Pepperdine University. Thank you for your support!
