2026 - All About TAG Gallery Memberships and Artist Representation

The Artists Gallery annually welcomes qualified artists to its community. Member artists gain access to TAG’s dynamic exhibition spaces, community programing, marketing materials and networking events. Located in the heart of Los Angeles, TAG is different. We are a gallery founded and funded by member artists, for artists. This model allows us to offer unique benefits to artists, including solo gallery exhibitions, numerous group shows, art community engagement, advertising, artist promotion, and the ability to experiment and display new works in a beautiful, creative space.

To apply for consideration as a TAG Member, please fill out the application form on the website and select the Membership Plan you feel fits your artistic needs. Current Members will receive separate communication and will have first right of refusal on solo opening positions in the coming year. If you are selected to be a TAG Member it is important to sign up early to reserve your solo show space and time. Each membership is subject to a $500 non-refundable commitment / set-up fee upon acceptance.

We look forward to your application. If you have questions or would like more information, please feel free to contact TAG. Please note that fees for each Membership Plan are subject to change.

We look forward to hearing from you!
