There can be no disputing that Los Angeles is becoming a new global 'center' for the visual arts, contemporary and otherwise. Directors and curators have been wooed away from posts on the east coast to take up positions within Los Angeles's increasingly vibrant museum community. Galleries that once looked to European or Asian cities for branch locations are now looking to Culver City, Hollywood, and Downtown. Aspiring artists from around the country and the world flock to Los Angeles area schools and programs, and they are staying. Collectors are taking note. While Los Angeles has long been the center of the entertainment industry, the visual arts appear poised to remake LA in their own image, and to rethink from the ground up what "creative industry" could be.
