A contemporary art gallery in Chinatown

Lola is dedicated to art that transforms vulnerability into resistance, connection, and community.

Lola Gallery opened at 716 N Figueroa St in Chinatown, Los Angeles, as a home for contemporary art by emerging and established artists. Inclusion and diversity shape the program through the artists Lola presents and the range of perspectives, materials, subjects, and forms of expression represented in the work.

Lola is the project of founder Tyson Klein. The child of two architects, he grew up around the art world and design. After nearly a decade writing and performing comedy, he moved into film and commercial production, where he honed his craft as a production designer, building and designing sets. Years of working alongside the Los Angeles art community eventually led him to open a gallery and art space of his own.

Between exhibitions, the gallery opens its doors as an event venue and a film and photo shoot location. That mix keeps the room alive and keeps the program independent. Learn about renting the space.
