Clark's Gallery will relocate from the Historic Core to the Financial District in Jan 2012, replacing DowntownLAGallery adjacent to Casey's Irish Pub on Grand Ave
Photographer and Downtown LA resident, Clark Woodford, is moving his art gallery from the Historic Core (within the sphere of Gallery Row) to the heart of the Financial District. His photography gallery store, Clark’s Gallery, will replace DowntownLAGallery located right next to Casey’s Irish Pub on Grand Ave. Clark’s Gallery is currently located in Biddy Mason Park, which is definitely a charming location (if you’ve ever been in there before), but is unfortunately hidden behind the Bradbury Building with very little foot traffic.
Woodford has had a keen interest in photography since he was in junior high school growing up in Portland, Oregon. He went on to become the yearbook photographer in high school. Moving to LA in 1997 as an adult and joining the workforce in the corporate world, Woodford put on pause his passion for photography for many years. Finally in 2007, Woodford rekindled his passion for capturing the world through the lens of a camera and now enjoys sharing his artwork with others. Woodford tells me, “Images in the gallery are unaltered and un-staged. What you see is exactly what the camera shot. I’m a purist.”
Clark’s Gallery’s lease will begin on January 1, 2012 and Clark has informed me that he plans to be open for business on January 9, 2012. Selection includes images from the Pacific Northwest to the South Pacific. From Downtown Los Angeles to the remote deserts of Southern California.

congratulations Clark!
very cool for clark, but it was funny to read this and then stumble up on this comment from him a few days ago.

Unfortunately, my location in the historic core was in a hidden park behind a parking garage with minimal foot traffic surrounded by government offices dealing with budget cuts. In order to get the right size location and the daytime clientele needed to survive, I’ve chosen a new location in the financial district.
Living in the historic core, I’m thrilled to see new businesses opening up. As a business owner, it’s not the right daytime mix for my business.
I’m looking forward to continuing to live and work in downtown LA.
