We hope that you'll be able to join us for the opening party--it's an opportunity not only to see some amazing art but also to meet the artist in person. Simone's exhibition runs through June 21st, with gallery hours Wednesdays through Saturdays 12noon to 6pm and by appointment.

An interview with Alexis Wedig is featured on The Huffington Post, for First Person Artist, a weekly column by Kimberly Brooks. Click here to read it!
Weidig's recent work can be seen at OVERTONES, including some of the pieces featured in the interview. For those leaning more towards the two-dimensional world, we also have a selection of Alexis Weidig's limited edition prints and monoprints available in our flat file collection.

Join us this Saturday, May 3rd, from 7 to 10pm for a toast to a Master of Fine Arts Exhibition by Los Angeles photographer LINDA JETT. Linda Jett's graduate show, entitled "twelve to 18," will be on view through May 10th.
We will quickly move on to our next exhibition, a solo show by New York artist Simone Lourenco, opening May 17th, so make sure to swing by the gallery in the next couple of weeks in order to view Linda Jett's photographs...Or, better yet, come by for the opening reception for a view AND a cocktail!

Time flies in LaLaLand: we are entering the final week of CHRISTOPHER CHINN's solo exhibit "On The Row"--don't miss the opportunity to view the exhibit before the final day of the show, April 26th, rolls around. We'll be moving on quickly so, yes, this truly is the last opportunity to view an exhibit that has had an amazing and heartwarming response thus far. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 12noon to 6pm, but as usual you can always call us if you need try to squeeze in a time that better fits your busy Angeleno schedules.
A few days later, we'll be springing back up with a special Master of Fine Arts Exhibition featuring the photography of LINDA JETT. This exhibit will truly be short--just a couple of weeks--so you'll really have to hustle to see it, but it will be worth the effort. Linda Jett'ss work will be on view beginning Wednesday, April 30th and will toast the artist on SATURDAY, MAY 3, 2008 from 7-10pm so save that date!
And, while we have you with your calendars out, the eve of SATURDAY, MAY 17th will be extremely special--mark that one too, but we'll keep you in suspense with the details until we come closer to it [and your attention span is not so strained].

Looking forward to seeing you at the gallery--now conveniently located on the way to the beach!

Join us this SATURDAY, MARCH 15th from 7-10pm, for the second opening at our still-feeling-new location: CHRISTOPHER CHINN's solo exhibition will present a body of work inspired by the artist's encounters with the homeless population in downtown Los Angeles, where Chinn moved after completing his MFA studies at the USC Roski School of Fine Arts. Chinn's compelling portraits further the connections between us all, depicting, with palpable dignity, the real faces of homelessness, and bringing to our attention that it is not just the issue of the streets in urban dwellings, but one that we must all pay attention to and work together to solve. Christopher Chinn's exhibition, entitled "On the Row"will be on view through April 26, 2008.

The closing of the exhibit "A Life Well-Traveled", a retrospective of MARGI SCHARFF's art, is coming near.
The last day to see the show is Saturday, March, 8th, 2008 (The International Women's Day!) and we hope you will not miss the opportunity to come by and see & enjoy the amazing art created by Margi during her many travels. This is also a rare occasion to see Margi's early work and connect the dots of Margi's entire journey through life and art.
OVERTONES gallery is open Wednesday through Saturday, from 12noon to 6pm, and by appointment. As always, do not hesitate to call us should you need help fitting a gallery visit into your busy LA schedule.

Our NEW location is now in full swing, offering a rare look at the amazing artistic journey of MARGI SCHARFF, an artist who has traveled the world and left behind "A Life Well-Traveled" and true treasures.
The exhibit of Margi's art will be on view through March 8th and we invite you to come and see it, have a glass of wine in our new art lounge and enjoy a moment of living with Margi's art and our collection of art by the artists who continue to share their talent with Overtones gallery and all of you.

It's finally happening: our new location is ready for you and we are hoping you'll be able to join us for the Grand Opening this SATURDAY, JANUARY 26th, 2008 from 6-10pm.

Our very first exhibition at the brand new gallery is a retrospective of MARGI SCHARFF's work, entitled "A Life Well-Traveled".

Margi was an amazing artist and an extraordinary human being. We are honored that she has entrusted her art estate to OVERTONES gallery and we are pleased to be able to celebrate her life by sharing her art with all of you.

In celebration of Margi and her travels, OVERTONES gallery has published a book of her art and writing inspired by her journeys through India. The book, "Margi Scharff: On India Time," will premiere at the opening reception, with a reading of a selection of stories from the book at 8pm.

We hope to see you at the gallery this Saturday, with a raised glass to life, art and new beginnings!

We have arrived!
To our new building, that is!
Simply put, our old neighborhood was just not gentrifying fast enough so we decided to move ourselves where gentrification is taken seriously: Mar Vista! It just seemed to go really well with our motto that finding the true solution to any problem lies in becoming a part of the problem--so, here we are--and we're loving it!
However, as it can sometimes happen with life, some things during this big move were simply out of our control and, as a result, we've had to adjust, adapt and slow down a bit. Meaning, our Big Opening has been postponed--but only for a week which, as well all know in LA, is really no time at all.
We hope you'll join us for the opening of our new doors on SATURDAY, JANUARY 26th, 2008 6--10pm: it will be a celebration of both our new digs and the opening of the retrospective exhibition of art by MARGI SCHARFF and we would be honored and thrilled to have you here for the toast!

Until we see you again (on the 26th, hopefully!): we wish you a happy, healthy and fulfilling NEW YEAR!
