I received this somewhat cryptic email today. I always enjoyed walking by the gallery and checking out the latest exhibits. Cassandra Jones’ show was great, and the Men of Ojai Calendar launch party was a blast. Best of luck to Nathan in his next incarnation.
Dear Friends,
As I move on to the next leg of my career in promoting the arts, I no longer feel that having a static “brick and mortar” space is essential to cultivating rich and innovative art experiences. My passion to provide opportunities for artists and the art community remains the same. Please stay tuned for future projects presented by Nathan Larramendy – it will only get better!

Since the inception of the Nathan Larramendy Gallery in September 2003, the gallery has hosted numerous memorable exhibitions by important emerging artists, including Travis Somerville, Cassandra C. Jones, Penelope Gottlieb, Ruth Pastine, Amir H. Fallah, Emilie Clark and Stella Lai, to name only a few. The exhibitions at the gallery have been well received, with reviews in the Los Angeles Times, Beautiful/Decay, Art Ltd, Artweek, VC Reporter and Art in America, among others. The gallery has participated in art fairs in San Francisco, Miami, Santa Fe, New York, Chicago and London. In 2003 my mission was to create an exhibition program that would be recognized on a national level from my small home town of Ojai, CA, and I am satisfied and proud that this goal has been obtained.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those who have supported the gallery – collectors, writers, fellow gallerists, interns, and mostly the artists who had faith in my vision of hosting exhibitions outside of the traditional urban setting. A very special thanks to Brad Hudson, Carmen McLeod, Allison Gibson, Catharine Clark, and Becky Elkins, without their support the gallery would have never been possible. Thanks to all of the Weekend Warriors and those that made the initial Road Trip to Ojai.
Kind Regards,
Nathan Larramendy
