1992-1995 Julie Rico Gallery 2623 Main Street, Santa Monica, CA A huge effort that spawned numerous art careers and helped the Pop Surrealism movement take hold.

1996/7-2000 The Rico Gallery 208 Pier Ave. Santa Monica, CA This gallery was generously donated by the artist Manfred Menz. Thank you Manfred! It is a long story. But sure wish we were still there. The most memorable exhibitions were by Peter Liashkov as seen in the center picture and the Alex Grey show and the History of LSD by Mark McCloud.
2005-2010 Weeneez and the Red Dot Gallery and Bistro. The coolest and craziest idea to support art was Weeneez. I presented lots of amazing exhibitions in both spaces. The front restaurant was selling hot dogs to support art and the back space was a formal gallery with beer, wine and fine art. The work showing above in the Red Dot is by the artist Youn Woo Chaa.
