Karl Inaugural Exhibition Launch Party

This January, a diverse group of local galleries and arts organizations proudly present the inaugural iteration of KARL—a pop-up, group exhibition hosted at Levi’s Plaza. This collaborative initiative highlights a curated selection of contemporary California artists, offering a fresh perspective on the region’s vibrant art scene.

Set against the backdrop of Levi’s Plaza and its public park—a landmark space designed by acclaimed landscape architect Lawrence Halprin—the exhibition honors the dynamic interplay between art, landscape, and legacy. Halprin’s celebrated design, which seamlessly integrates urban and natural elements, provides a fitting stage for amplifying the richness and diversity of California voices.

The Bay Area has long been a hub for collaboration and innovation and KARL exemplifies this ethos. The exhibition not only celebrates the artists championed by each participating organization, but also demonstrates the potential of uniting around a shared vision and fostering a vibrant and inclusive arts ecosystem.
