GALLERY | PRPG.mx is a Dab Art Co. satellite gallery located in Colonia Juárez, Mexico City. This densely populated and culturally significant neighborhood is a mecca for the city's art community. Though the original colonial style architecture is still prominent throughout the space, PRPG.mx has also been retro fitted with display walls that are more synonymous with contemporary U.S. galleries. Housed in a 2 story old world style former residence, with a total combined exhibition space of 3000 sqft, PRPG.mx is curated exclusively by Dab Art Co. curator Micheal Swank. Micheal's contemporary program focus's on artist's and artwork within (but not limited to) the LGBTQ+ community.
ARTIST RESIDENCY | Artists selected for exhibition will also recieve a one week virtual artist residency. Normal structures of our studio practices have been interrupted. Whether self-imposed or imposed from outside forces, the world is in quarantine. Artists are craving connection and creativity. In response to the outcry, Dab Art co. and Proyecto Galería has launched The Virtual Artists' Residency. Our goal is to connect globally, create a discipline for your studio practice, and a voice to unify your experience. The technology exists and we are going to maximize and amplify! PRPG.mx was orginally created by Dab Art Co. curator Micheal Swank. His highly successful residency program in Mexico CIty has been attended by artists from all over the world. Post outbreak, Micheal has teamed up with the Dab Art Co. and reformattted his residency experience for the new online era of remote learning.

ABOUT DAB ART CO. | In 2011 Yessíca Torres co-opened H Gallery + Studios in Ventura, California. As co-owner and chief curator of H Gallery, Yessíca's contemporary and modern program was a clear break from the conventional art scene that surrounded her. H Gallery's progressive gallery design and ambitious exhibition schedule were received with immediate regional success. Her program made H Gallery one of the most prevailing contemporary art spaces in the greater Los Angeles area. With the revelation that art exposure should not be limited by physical location, Yessíca independently established the Dab Art Company in 2014. This distinctive art company is dedicated to enhancing the contemporary art experience for artists, collectors and viewers in and outside the gallery setting. Dab Art embraces the relentless evolution of contemporary art by featuring experimental artists, highlighting innovative techniques and utilizing technological advances. Mainly focusing on mid-career to established artists, Dab Art's current inventory of international artwork is available for purchase online. Our partnership with Arsty has greatly expanded our collector visibility, elevating the Dab Art sales experience. In 2019 Yessíca made the move from Ventura to Los Angeles proper. The Dab Art Co. headquarters and main Gallery are now located within the historic core and heart of the arts district in Downtown Los Angeles. Since its initial launch, Yessíca has expanded Dab Art from simple gallery exhibitions to art publications, artist talks, panel discussions, video profiles, exhibition videos and now, documentary filmmaking; examining the process and identity of artists. Dab Art Co. has 3 locations in California and Mexico City providing ample opportunity for artists. Including; exhibitions, solo shows, online features, movie set rentals and publications.
