Pharmaka: Eco-Friendly Art and Conversation
Say hello to Pharmaka, a sustainable art gallery who’s mission is to use art as a guide to instigate and inspire discussions about relevant world issues. The impressive downtown LA-based space, which is eco-friendlier thanks to the recent help of HBO’s new show, Alter Eco, will begin hosting curated exhibitions, lectures, panel discussions, podcasts, and accessible community programming and events.
The original founders: Shane Guffogg , John Scane and Vonn Sumner, will focus on contemporary art as catalyst for good dialogue on current issues and events. The gallery is currently hosting an exhibit on abstract Latino art, called Rebel Legacy and will be offering Artwalk Thursdays as well as hosting an upcoming LA Green Drinks meeting (many thanks to Laura over at Green Drinks for the tip!).
Great idea and great post. A Green Art Gallery would definitely drive conversations where I live and would be the perfect backdrop to addressing some of the relevant world and local community issues. Thanks for the info!
