Building a community that celebrates bold, inspiring artists and uplifts creative expression around the world.
Who we are
L7 is creating a space for imaginative and inspiring contemporary artists to show their work.
Our overall aesthetic and selection process is based on artistic originality and personal expression, whether that is realized by neo-figurative, neo-expressionist, spiritual abstraction, outsider or other approaches.
We believe art should be considered a vehicle for personal fulfillment and community well-being, not used as a commodity for investment purposes. Recognizing that an artist needs to be able to make a living wage pursuing their craft, we are dedicated to creating opportunities where that possibility can be achieved.
We hope you will join us in our journey forward.

“Sharing Mythologies” - Nov 21-30, 2025
Whatcom Art Center
1103 11th St, Bellingham, WA 98225It’s good to see eclectic artwork that imaginatively combines current events, mythology, and the history of art to represent our current fears, anxieties, and hopes. Art can combine the past and the present, the real and the ideal, and can both satirize the problematic present and present imaginative humanist alternatives for the future. Louise Bourgeois said, ‘Art is a guarantee of sanity’ and, ‘It is not a torment to be an artist. It is a privilege.’"

"Exploring Relationality" - Jan 15-30, 2026
Art is fundamentally an exploration of relationships. From the cave paintings of Lascaux to Pollock’s Male and Female, artists have long sought to express the interconnected nature of existence. Rather than viewing reality as separate and individual, art often reveals how we exist in constant relation—to people, places, objects, time, memory, and even art itself.
This theme echoes across cultures and philosophies. In Taoism, for example, Yin and Yang emerge only in relation to one another. Similarly, we are shaped and defined through our connections.
