Los Angeles is notorious for its paparazzi but has other photographers too. That will be showcased when the City of Angels gets a new home for photography next spring when the Annenberg Space for Photography opens its doors. The Annenberg Foundation is one of the nation's largest private family foundations. The new building will be a community space dedicated to both digital images and print photography in Los Angeles, California at 2000 Avenue of the Stars, the former site of the Shubert Theater.

The space will be a 10,000 square foot facility with a state-of-the-art digital projection gallery along with a traditional print exhibit area and general admission will be free. The opening exhibit will be a group show of eight Los Angeles-based photographers in the genres of fine art, architecture, documentary, fashion, photojournalism and celebrity portraits. The show will feature the work of John Baldessari, Catherine Opie, Greg Gorman, Douglas Kirkland, Tim Street-Porter, Julius Shulman, Lauren Greenfield and Carolyn Cole and will also include work from staff photographers at the Los Angeles Times.
