The Full Moon Gallery was an ambitious two year revolving exhibition program featuring the work of Los Angeles-based artists. With the generous support of the Community Redevelopment Agency who funded this project and the Summit Group who provided the vacant storefront at the corner of 5th and Hill, downtown, FAR presented the inaugural show for the Full Moon Gallery on October 14, 1995. The art was displayed in the four gallery window spaces installed by FAR and was available for public viewing 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Hundreds of people, whether walking, bicycling or driving by were able to interact with the art work every day. In the course of its two year run over fifty artists participated in twelve group shows. Through open calls for proposals and thematic invitational shows a diverse and vibrant mix of art work was curated into each exhibition.
As in all FAR endeavors this project was a collaboration from the start. The original concept was to have one day exhibitions every full moon. The idea evolved with the steady input from new board members, who kept the discussion lively as to what form and direction the project should take. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of its board members, community volunteers and participating artists, FAR was able to provide a unique exhibition experience, rarely seen in Los Angeles. The Full Moon Gallery project stands as an example of the diverse artistic excellence which makes up the Los Angeles art scene but is seldom exhibited. FAR would also like to acknowledge the Brody Arts Fund, the California Arts Council, and the National Endowment for the Arts for their support of the project.
