LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, April 17, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- TAG Gallery Presents Five Solo Exhibitions and a Curated Earth Day Group Show
April 23 – May 16, 2025 | Opening Reception: Saturday, April 26, 5–8 PM

Curated Group Show “Our Earth: What Artists Can Do” Opens Alongside Five Solo Exhibitions

TAG Gallery proudly announces its April exhibitions, showcasing five solo shows by artists Lee Cooper, Agop Gemdjian, Negin Haghighi-Mismas, Ellen King, and Isabella Stoakes, alongside a special Earth Day-inspired group exhibition curated by Sunhee Joo "Our Earth: What Artists Can Do." The exhibitions open to the public on Wednesday, April 23 and run through Friday, May 16. The gallery will host a free, public opening reception on Saturday, April 26, from 5–8 PM.

TAG’s April exhibitions explore the power of visual narrative and the role of art in interpreting our rapidly evolving relationship with nature, identity, memory, and place. These solo and group exhibitions offer a wide range of styles and mediums—from vivid surrealist oils and archival photography to emotional abstraction and curated eco-conscious artworks.

TAG Curatorial: “Our Earth: What Artists Can Do”
Curated by artist and UCLA MFA graduate Sunhee Joo, "Our Earth: What Artists Can Do" commemorates the 55th anniversary of Earth Day. Joo’s curatorial debut at TAG brings together diverse voices from the Los Angeles art community, asking artists not necessarily to answer ecological questions, but to inspire a renewed emotional connection with the natural world.
