Central Server Works (CSW) was founded in 2021 in the converted studio space of a family home in Pico-Robertson, Los Angeles. The gallery is an artist-run commercial art gallery and production company exhibiting, researching, disseminating, and collaborating on the creation of the work of contemporary artists. CSW’s current operations are in Downtown Los Angeles, with a project space in Venice, CA in collaboration with EC3.

Central Server Works stages international exhibitions, participates in art fairs, produces film and theater projects, and publishes books and editions through Central Server Works Press. In 2025 Central Server Works will launch Opposite People a platform for spatial and interior design for fine art, theater, performance, film, fashion and residential spaces.
