Location 1980 is a local art gallery and creative hub in Costa Mesa, home to more than 20 artist studios. Since opening its doors in 2010, it has served as a welcoming space for the local arts community. The gallery regularly hosts portrait and figure drawing workshops that are open to artists of all skill levels. The gallery is owned by artist Jesse Fortune, a St. Louis native who relocated to Southern California in 2000. His work is deeply inspired by nature and the rich, diverse landscapes of California.
