About
Founded in 2018 by collector and curator Emilia Yin, Make Room is a contemporary art gallery in the heart of Hollywood, Los Angeles, occupying 4,500 square feet of interconnected exhibition spaces, an outdoor courtyard, and a garden. The gallery was founded on the conviction that the most consequential contemporary art now moves between cultures rather than within a single one, a perspective shaped by its global position between Los Angeles and Asia.
The gallery’s program identifies artists engaging with cultural identity, conceptual practice, and global perspectives, often before the institutions do, with a sustained commitment to female artists, artists of color, and voices working outside the established center. Make Room has introduced emerging voices and reframed the work of established artists including Terence Koh, Sun Woo, Andrew Sendor, Guimi You, Yeni Mao, Tuan Vu, Xin Liu, and Jacopo Pagin, among others.
Make Room has placed works by its artists in major public and private collections, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Hammer Museum, the Orange County Museum of Art, the Columbus Museum of Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, the Institute of Contemporary Art Miami, and the KADIST Art Foundation, as well as the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, The Perimeter in London, and the Yuz Museum and Pond Society in Shanghai.
