June 1, 2024, Press Release by ArtSpace/Lima: ArtSpace is excited to introduce its inaugural 'Open Wall' event, offering a unique opportunity for emerging artists to exhibit their work in a professional gallery setting. The idea started with the news about a 51-year-old exhibition technician and self-proclaimed ‘freelance artist’ who smuggled one of his paintings into the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, Germany, on February 26th , and hung it on a wall in one of the galleries. After security discovered the newest addition to the museum’s collections, they promptly took down the display and the man was fired.

Artspace/Lima is trying a new event to give emerging artists a chance to exhibit their work. The "Open Wall" exhibit is a first-come, first-served opportunity to get a 6 x 6 space in the Ellen Nelson Gallery. The goal is to foster artistic expression and community engagement. There are 20 spaces available, and the organizers hope that they will fill up quickly. The work will be exhibited from July 9th through the 19th and is open to any artist looking to exhibit their work and have their 15 minutes of fame.

June 6, 2024, Press Release from ArtSpace/Lima: ArtSpace is excited to introduce its inaugural 'Open Wall' event, offering a unique opportunity for emerging artists to exhibit their work in a professional gallery setting. Inspired by the audacious act of a freelance artist who smuggled his painting into the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, ArtSpace aims to provide a legitimate platform for artists seeking to share their creativity with the public.

Art lovers, rejoice! ArtSpace/Lima announced its expansion plans on Monday, a project that will transform the gallery into a full-fledged museum. Just over a year ago, a donor stepped forward with a vision to expand Artspace, offering to finance the vacant building next to the current gallery in downtown Lima. That vision is becoming a reality, as building renovations are set to kick off this month. And that work will help ArtSpace take the next step to becoming a museum.
