Dear Friends,
Los Caminos is no longer a physical space, it now exists purely as an idea. Due to factors beyond our control we must close our doors prematurely. While the gallery at 2649 Cherokee is closed, Los Caminos will continue to produce scheduled projects as planned. Please join us for our next opening at 2637 (the former home of Cherokee Photobooth, date TBD) and look for our upcoming project with Takashi Horisaki in the Front Room at CAM this June.
It saddens us to close our space on Cherokee, but we are excited about the opportunity to expand our programing beyond the walls of the apartment. Thank you all for your continued support and for supporting alternative art spaces in St. Louis.
Sincerely,
Cole & Francesca
ABOUT
From October 2011 - May 2012 Los Caminos operated as an alternative space for exhibiting emerging contemporary art from Saint Louis and beyond. Located in a second floor apartment in Saint Louis’s Cherokee Street neighborhood, Los Caminos used the domestic areas of the apartment as a meeting place to view, discuss, and generate contemporary art.
Los Caminos now operates as a curatorial collective, organizing exhibitions in St. Louis and throughout the United States.
