ABOUT



Lonestar is an artist-run venue and gallery space located in the heart of Los Angeles’ Arts District. Founded by multimedia artist and curator Alex Carmen, and built by designer and craftsman Brant Ritter, Lonestar was built as a platform for artists to take creative risks, explore new ideas, and present work with sincerity and care. The space blends a curatorial mindset with a come-as-you-are ethos—welcoming experimentation, collaboration, and
process-driven work.

More than just a venue, Lonestar is a gathering point — shaped by intention and rooted in community. From exhibitions and concerts to photo shoots, residencies, and release events, the space supports a range of programming that reflects the diverse voices of LA’s creative landscape. Whether you're showcasing a finished body of work or testing something new, Lonestar offers room to be seen.
