The Brick (visual art space)

The Brick is a visual art space in Los Angeles, California.

It was founded as LAXART in 2005 by Lauri Firstenberg. In 2015, The Brick moved into a former 1928 recording studio[1]. It moved again and until 2022 was in West Hollywood in a space now occupied by famed curator and former MOCA LA director Jeffrey Dietch's gallery.[2] The latest space opened on June 16, 2024.[2]

The name was inspired by the exposed brick walls of the new location, the idea the space is part of a cooperative community with a construction role, and also the notion of a brick as a tool or weapon or revolution.[2]

The Brick has 4,000 square feet (370 square meters) of exhibition space, plus a courtyard.[2]

Hamza Walker became the director in 2016.
