I'm a little late on this one because I think this is their second opening but we have a new gallery in the OC that we should all go out and support.
Rothick art haus is in Anaheim and their schedule and represented artists can be found on their website.

Posted at 11:00h, 14 SeptemberNot only is supporting an artists’ practice important, but the artists themselves should be taking an active role in their careers, not just waiting or allowing the gallery system to take them in and hand them shows, but also thinking of the spaces and places in which an artist can decide for themselves how their work functions. I took this class twice, it is phenomenal!

About the Class:
Getting Your Sh*t Together: The Ultimate Career Boot Camp for Artists.
Created by artist, curator, and legendary CalArts professor Karen Atkinson, Getting Your Sh*t Together (GYST) is the often-imitated workshop for emerging artists, and for artists who’ve been “emerging” longer than they expected. Over 500 artists have graduated from GYST since 2002 and their continued success and contributions to the art world are what gives GYST such a great reputation.
GYST teaches you the business stuff you should have learned in art school, but didn’t. GYST values self-sufficiency and presents you with information, skills, and strategies to make things happen without necessarily waiting around for some arbiter of culture to validate your work. We’re not concerned with producing slick, commercialized artists, nor is this some new age, touchy-feely “find your inner artist” crap. GYST is a comprehensive class for artists, by artists that will teach you bare-knuckled, practical strategies for negotiating the baffling terrain of the contemporary art world.
Over 8-weeks, you’ll create and refine your “presentation package,” including your artist statement, bio, resume, portfolio, and more, with the full editorial and technical support of GYST’s staff.
The class culminates with Curator Speed Dating. Get real-world feedback on your portfolio and proposals from some of the area’s hottest curators. Past curators have been LA Times Art Critic David Pagel, LA Weekly Critic Doug Harvey, LACE Director Carol Stakenas, Artillery Editor Tulsa Kinney, curator and writer Shana Nys Dambrot, and more.
Students also get a complimentary copy of the new GYST software, which usually retails for $150. The MAC and PC based program is packed with all the organizing tools and information resources every artist needs. Find out more about the software by visiting http://gyst-ink.com/products/features.php.
