VOLTAGE OF HOPE
An International Contemporary Art Exhibition
September 19–24, 2026 · Mica Studios, Arts District
356 S Mission Road, Los Angeles, CA 90033
Free admission · Opening night: September 19 from 5pm
The Pop-Up Project — the international contemporary art platform that has staged exhibitions in Amsterdam, Lisbon, and Madrid — arrives in Los Angeles this September with Voltage of Hope, a six-day group exhibition bringing together emerging and established artists from across Europe, the Americas, and Asia.
Set inside Mica Studios in the heart of the Arts District, the exhibition presents paintings, photography, and mixed media works united by a single question: what does hope feel like when the world feels electric with uncertainty?
Opening night on September 19 features a live jazz band, Firestone 805 beer, and a dance performance — the kind of vernissage that turns a gallery into an event. The week continues with daily programming including a wellness morning, live performances, cultural talks, an arts district walking tour, and wine pours from Paso Robles wineries.
Textile artist Cassandra Julien is included in the exhibition.
Opening Reception:
Saturday, September 19, 5 - 8pm
