Zane Rhys, Gallery Director LOCAL COLOR
AdamsArtExpose’
Lee Balan, Eclectic Artist
The newest art gallery in town has opened
on Arenas Road. The new gallery, LOCAL
COLOR, is a welcome addition to a street
that is a popular meeting place and hang
out for the LGBT community. Local Color
was a former laundromat located next to
and owned by the owner of Street Bar.
The laundromat had not been very productive
during the past few years and a
discussion of what it could become evolved
into the art gallery idea. The art gallery will
literally, bring a touch of color and culture
to the street. The restaurants, bars, clothing
and gift shops that occupy the street will
also benefit from another enterprise that
will attract a diversity of people.
Zane Rhys is the director of Local Color.
Utilizing his abilities as an artist and entrepreneur,
Zane has taken a laundromat and
creatively transformed it into a functionally
organized art gallery. The first show was
comprised of several artists who are also
employed at the Street Bar. They are also
artists who work in a variety of art media
including two and three dimensional art
and photography.
The current show, which opened on Saturday,
February 13 has the theme of Modernism.
This corresponds with the Modernism
show and Palm Springs Art Fair, which is a
widely popular attraction to the art, design,
and architectural interests that have converged
on Palm Springs from throughout
the United States and several foreign countries
this past week.
