Co-curated by Leah Ring and Holland Denvir, Object Permanence is an exhibition series that was created with the intent of highlighting Los Angeles design talent. Each iteration of Object Permanence revolves around individual interpretations of a specific prompt, keeping the brief loose and allowing participants the freedom to express their vision and highlight their particular expertise in a broad range of materials.

The event was founded as a means to bridge the gap between LA's various creative industries, offering a space to exchange ideas, build connections, broaden communities, and foster open dialogue across zip codes. We seek to offer a voice to up-and-coming designers by highlighting their work alongside that of more well established studios.

After 11 exhibitions with 169 original artworks shown by an incredibly talented range of designers and artists, Object Permanence has come to an end. We are forever grateful to all of the designers who contributed to the shows, the partners who let us pop up in their spaces and the volunteers who helped us put on the shows. We are also grateful for the generosity of participating artists who auctioned their work totaling over $10,500 in donations to organizations including LA Food Bank, Black Art Futures Fund, Common Cause and Downtown Women’s Center.

Thank you for the good times!
