Steve Turner's contemporary program was established in Los Angeles in 2007 with a mission to present unknown, emerging and diverse international artists. To have a vital, encouraging presence in Los Angeles, we frequently offer artists their first solo exhibition in the city. Of the many whom we have presented, nearly 90% had their Southern California debut with us. Beyond introducing unknown and diverse artists, we also seek artists who are conceptually rigorous, innovative and experimental. These attributes yield cutting-edge works that cover the spectrum of contemporary media, materials and processes. An archive of our doings, 331 gallery exhibitions and 99 art fair exhibitions prior to 2025, is viewable on our website.

We inaugurated our publishing program in 2020 with two books on Kevin McNamee-Tweed (Ceramic Paintings and Tableaux Vivant). Our next publication will be a monograph on Jingze Du.
