Nazarian / Curcio opened their gallery in Venice, CA in 2012 with a focus on artists from the greater Middle East. In 2016, Seth Curcio, Senior Director and Partner, joined Shulamit Nazarian and together they expanded the gallery’s focus to include emerging, mid-career, and established artists whose interests challenge and illuminate current social and political issues through a lens of personal narrative. In 2017, the gallery relocated to a new building in Hollywood, located on La Brea Ave at Melrose Ave. The 6,000 square-foot facility spans two floors, featuring two exhibition spaces, a library, private offices and dedicated viewing rooms.

The exhibition program at Nazarian / Curcio is dedicated to supporting artists’ growth and development by amplifying and concretizing their practice in public and private collections, biennials, and monographs. As the program evolves and expands, the gallery will foster deeper relationships and collaborations with its artists at all levels and will expand representation to reflect the rich and dynamic arts community of its hometown of Los Angeles and beyond.
