Projecting L.A. 2024 is a unique photographic project that presents an intimate & kaleidoscopic view of Los Angeles, its diverse communities, & unwieldy streets.
Glendale Library, Arts & Culture and ReflectSpace are proud to present Projecting L.A. 2024, a unique photographic project that presents an intimate and kaleidoscopic view of Los Angeles, its diverse communities, and unwieldy streets.
The brainchild of Julia Dean—photographer, educator, writer, and founder of the Los Angeles Center of Photography—Projecting L.A. brings together a vast spectrum of photographers to tell the story of Los Angeles through photojournalism, documentary, and street photography. The project cuts across cultural, gender, socio-political, generational, community, and physical boundaries and offers an often chaotic but colorful panorama of our city—as seen through the lens of some of its best image makers.
The photographs in the project are as varied as they are compelling and span an incredible array of Los Angeles sites and stories: from the region’s fentanyl crisis, to Hollywood behind-the-scenes, to a doctor treating COVID-19 patients, to the legacy of Marilyn Monroe, to wild Venice Beach, to underground wrestling, Latino street gangs, a midwife-led delivery unit, and the joys of childhood.
Projecting L.A. 2024 was screened on April 27, 2024, in a one-of-a-kind outdoor projection screening in Chinatown on the side of a three-story building for over 2,000 spectators. The ReflectSpace iteration of Projecting L.A. will present a more intimate indoor experience.
The exhibition is co-curated by Julia Dean, Daniel Sackheim, and Ara & Anahid Oshagan and will be on view October 5 through December 8, 2024. For more information, visit ReflectSpace.org/post/Projecting-LA-2024

Established in 1906.
Library services in Glendale were first provided in 1906. The women of the Tuesday Afternoon Club, a social and philanthropic organization, raised money through a series of lectures to fund a library collection. The library opened in a renovated pool room at Third and E (Wilson and Everett) Streets with seventy books, soon supplemented by a State Traveling Library of fifty more, and served a population of 1,186.
In 1907, the City Trustees passed Ordinance 53 which established and supported a library which "...shall be forever free to the inhabitants and nonresident taxpayers of the City of Glendale..." The first year the library had 251 books, 165 registered patrons, and a budget of $248.88.
In 1913, a Carnegie grant of $12,500 made possible the construction of the main library at Kenwood and Fifth (Harvard Street). The building was completed and dedicated November 13, 1914.
