Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE) both champions and challenges the art of our time by fostering artists who innovate, explore and risk. By moving within and beyond its four walls, LACE seeks to provide opportunities for diverse audiences to engage deeply with contemporary art. Uniquely positioned among commercial galleries and major art establishments in the heart of Hollywood, LACE has nurtured not only several generations of young artists, but also emerging art forms such as performance art, video art, digital art, and installations.

Funding will support Screening Room: A LACE Video Art Series. In 2023, LACE put out a request for proposals for the 2024 Emerging Curators exhibition with a specific lens towards proposals focusing on video art. After reviewing the candidate pool, the innovation and inspirational proposals made selecting an awardee a difficult assignment, and LACE ultimately decided that alongside the awarded Emerging Curator, they would present multiple projects as a larger commitment to experimental video artists and curators. Hence Screening Room, a seven night multimedia show that will run from March-August 2024.
