ART IN THE ARTHOUSE presents: RAYMOND LOGAN: CARVING IN PAINT in Glendale
ART IN THE ARTHOUSE proudly presents the eye-popping exhibit RAYMOND LOGAN: CARVING IN PAINT at our sparkling new theatre, Laemmle Glendale. The art is for sale and on display till October 2018. Stop by our new galleries at Laemmle’s newest theatre; no need to buy a movie ticket to view.
About the exhibit
Don’t call Raymond Logan a “realistic artist.” While his work depicts real-life subject matter, it is fundamentally grounded in abstraction and intuition. His true goal is to create a dialogue with you, the viewer, whereby mutual discovery and re-imagining of “the self” can take place. “Without the viewer, I am that proverbial tree in the forest,” he muses.
Raised locally, Logan developed as an artist in that wonderful vacuum known as childhood. As a young adult, he went on to graduate from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena and proceeded to serve multiple tours of duty in graphic design and advertising. This cumulative history heavily influences his painting today, especially in the realm of color.
After a twenty-year hiatus from art, a chance encounter with a Cézanne self-portrait in Nashville inspired Logan to pick up a brush again. He selected oil paint as his medium because of its fluidity and malleability, often referring to his painting style as “carving” rather than painting.
Engaging Logan’s work is either an exercise in mysticism or quantum mechanics, depending on your bent. Go up close and experience the chaotic interplay of color and texture that plays out on the quantum level. Pull back and the artistic detail miraculously resolves into a recognizable pattern; the cosmos is familiar once more. Logan is still a resident Angeleno, living in our midst with his wife and two ebullient and boundlessly optimistic sons. We are thrilled to present him and his work as our first Art in the Arthouse showcase here at the brand new Laemmle Glendale.

The Grand Opening of the Laemmle Glendale is Set for Friday, August 3rd!
Laemmle Theatres is pleased to announce the Friday, August 3rd opening of the Laemmle Glendale, a five-screen movie theater located in a mixed-use project one block off Brand Boulevard behind the historic Alex Theatre. Located at the corner of Wilson & Maryland, the Laemmle Glendale will add to Downtown Glendale’s dynamic arts and entertainment district, home to such local institutions as the Antaeus Theatre Company and the Museum of Neon Art. The neighborhood also includes classic restaurants like Carousel and Porto’s Bakery & Cafe.
The Laemmle Glendale will feature a blend of programming, combining our signature art house cinema with the best of Hollywood. In addition, event cinema including opera, recorded concerts, stage productions, and repertory cinema will be part of the mix.
As Laemmle has been doing since 2014, the Laemmle Glendale will feature an Art in the Arthouse gallery in the theater lobby. The opening artist is local painter Raymond Logan.
The Laemmle Glendale will have stadium seating with ample leg room and all-digital projection. Along with popcorn and soda, the concession stand will serve a robust food menu, along with locally-sourced craft beer and hand-curated wines.
As with all Laemmle venues, the theatre will have reasonable ticket prices and easy access to discounted ticket options.
“We are excited to bring a Laemmle theater to booming Glendale for the first time and offer filmic opportunities to moviegoers of the Jewel City and their neighbors in Atwater Village, Eagle Rock, Los Feliz and Silver Lake,” said Laemmle Theatres President, Greg Laemmle. “As L.A.’s population continues to grow and it becomes more daunting to get from one place to another, we are committed to making it more convenient for people who want to see fine films in a theatrical setting.”
The Laemmle Glendale is part of the “L Lofts” Glendale, which includes 42 units of fully leased housing and the Panda Restaurant Group’s Panda Inn Test Kitchen, a premium Panda experience to augment the neighborhood’s other superlative restaurants.
The Laemmle Glendale will be managed by long-time Laemmle employee Cassie Gratton. After serving as one of the pillars of the Playhouse 7 in Pasadena, she opened the Claremont 5 Theater in 2007 and has served as its GM ever since. She said: “I am excited to meet and share with the community the new direction Laemmle Theatres is headed. I hope this will be a place people will be drawn to for more than a movie experience. Jewel City, here we come!”
After Glendale, the Laemmle circuit will continue to expand with the Laemmle Newhall in 2019 and just beyond that the Laemmle Azusa. Laemmle is also moving ahead with the renovation of the historic Reseda theater at Sherman Way in Reseda. With each of these projects Laemmle continues its commitment to working with local communities, supporting arts and entertainment districts, and catering to L.A.’s discerning moviegoers, something Laemmle has been doing since the founding of the company by brothers Max and Kurt Laemmle in 1938.

Fourth Annual Tour de Laemmle is Sunday, July 23rd, 2017!
Don’t be surprised if you see Greg Laemmle and 100+ other cyclists clip-clopping through a theater lobby this Sunday. They’re just rehydrating and taking a well-deserved break in the middle of their epic 135-mile bicycle tour of all eight Laemmle venues!
Our Fourth Annual Tour de Laemmle starts bright and early this Sunday, July 23rd. Participants leave the Monica Film Center in Santa Monica at 7:00AM before making their way to Beverly Hills, Claremont, Pasadena, Glendale, NoHo, Encino, West LA, and back to Santa Monica.
You can follow along from the comfort of your chair by visiting tourdelaemmle.com/share where riders will share their Instagram photos and tweets.
Our involvement with cycling events such as CicLAvia and Climate Ride stems not just from our love of the sport, but as a way to encourage alternative transportation and inspire creative thinking about our traffic and environmental challenges. In 2014, we stepped up to the plate by creating our own event.
As an avid cyclist and sustainability advocate, Greg Laemmle had always dreamed of traveling to each of his venues by bike in a single day. After researching the route, he soon recognized the cultural and historical import of many of the roads, pathways, and landmarks he discovered along the way. Realizing the potential value extended far beyond his original vision, he opened up the ride and invited the community to join him “on a 2-wheeled tour of L.A.’s richly diverse neighborhoods.” Find out more at tourdelaemmle.com!
Come Take a Gander at the Upcoming Laemmle Glendale During this Sunday’s CicLAvia – Glendale Meets Atwater Village!
One of the most fun and free things to do in our fair megalopolis is CicLAvia and this Sunday, June 11 from 9 to 4 you can enjoy a brand new route between Atwater Village and Glendale. Streets will be closed to cars and open for cyclists, pedestrians, runners and skaters to use as a recreational space. The Laemmle Charitable Foundation has been a proud sponsor for several years and we are super excited that this will be the first CicLAvia in Glendale.
If you think of Glendale as the sleepy L.A. suburb it once was, you ought to see how things have changed. Brand Avenue is now one of the more vibrant central business streets in the county, with tons of new mixed use developments. This Sunday is also a great chance to check out some of the hip restaurants and cafes in neighboring Atwater Village, or head over to Golden Road Brewing for some suds.
As it happens, our soon-to-come newest Laemmle theater is in Glendale! We’ll have five screens and hope to start projecting good movies on to them this holiday season. The venue is not directly on the CicLAvia route (as was the case in NoHo and Pasadena), but we are just a block away, on the corner of Wilson and Maryland Avenues. The Laemmle Glendale Project is not yet open to the public, but you can certainly take a look at the building just by venturing a block off route. Pick up a pastry at Porto’s and walk over …plus check out the historic Alex Theatre.
For updates, you can follow Laemmle Glendale on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!
This Sunday is a terrific, fun chance to see why we are so excited to be part of the all new stuff going on in Glendale. Tuesday was our ribbon cutting ceremony. Here are some photos:
Laemmle Glendale Update: Sign Installation Video and Residential Loft Leasing Info
Way back in 2014 we talked to the L.A. Times about our company’s 75th anniversary and what we had up our sleeves for the future. That’s when many of you first learned of our project located at Wilson and Maryland Avenues in the heart of Glendale. How time flies! We’re happy to report the Laemmle Glendale is expected to open in time for the holidays in late 2017!
Yes, seeing is believing, so we submit this short time-lapse of the “LAEMMLE” sign installation on our building:
