Neighborhood Ecology

Exhibition Opening Reception

Brand Library & Art Center invites you to join us for a reception celebrating the opening of the new art exhibition, "Neighborhood Ecology."

Brand Library & Art Center invites you to join us for a reception celebrating the opening of Neighborhood Ecology. 

To love Southern California is to love its vibrancy, diversity, and the dynamic communities tucked in its storied neighborhoods. Neighborhood Ecology will bring together a group of local artists whose work highlights different aspects of various Southern California environs: how the area is seen by non-locals, how it is experienced by its residents, and how the community celebrates their identity. The artwork will explore the many facets of the region – its boosterism, its visible societal concerns, its flora and fauna, its historic manmade landmarks, and its passionate residents. 

In addition to the professional artists featured in Neighborhood Ecology, young artists from all five high schools in Glendale Unified School District (GUSD) will present artwork that examines their own neighborhoods. This the library’s third GUSD collaborative partnership, which seeks to highlight and nurture the burgeoning talent of exceptional students.  

The curator and artists featured in the exhibition will be present at the opening reception.

Neighborhood Ecology will be on view January 31 - May 9, 2026. For more information, visit: BrandLibrary.org/Upcoming-Exhibition

This exhibition is part of the 2026 Hyper SoCal initiative, which brings awareness to nonprofit and municipal art venues supporting working artists in Southern California.
