  • Comment: Well, did it move to the former car dealership? If it did, has there been no substantive commentary (in reliable sources, of course) on this?
    The LA Times story is fairly informative; why not summarize more of what it says?
    "The gallery represents various artists such as:" and then eleven names, fewer than half of the eleven have this representation referenced. Hoary (talk) 05:41, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: Doesn't seem to meet WP:NORG, and, as another reviewer said, it seems like this is is a case of WP:TOOSOON. I won't decline it because you've added an LA times article about the subject, but I still don't think you've shown enough notability. Clearfrienda 💬 19:09, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: Hi.
    I'm sorry, but none of the sourcing here helps the subject meet our general notability guidelines nor WP:NORG at this point. All of the sources presented just mention Roberts Projects in passing.
    We need *significant* coverage in notable media outlets or by notable publishers. Examples: magazine and newspaper reviews and features about Roberts Projects specifically; books written ABOUT Roberts Projects; television and radio features ABOUT Roberts Projects.
    If those are available, please improve this submission. If not, then it appears to be WP:TOOSOON for Roberts Projects to have their own Wikipedia article.
    I hope you will consider improving existing Wikipedia content about other subjects of interest!
    If you have any questions please ask them at WP:TEAHOUSE.

Roberts Projects is a contemporary art gallery located in Los Angeles.

History

Roberts Projects was founded in 1999 as Roberts & Tilton by partners Bennett Roberts[1], Julie Roberts and Jack Tilton in Los Angeles.[2] Following the passing of Jack Tilton (1951- 2017),[3] the gallery changed its name to Roberts Projects on January 1, 2018.[4]

Roberts & Tilton opened its first space in 2000 at the 6150 Wilshire gallery complex located in the Miracle Mile section of LA, a focal place for viewing art in the early 2000's. From 1986 to 1992 Bennett Roberts co-owned Richard/Bennett Gallery.[5] Julie Roberts started her career at Burnett Miller Gallery in 1990 and later worked in the secondary market before launching Roberts & Tilton. From 2008 through 2022 Roberts Projects occupied a former coffee-roasting factory in Culver City.[6]

In August 2020, Roberts Projects was elected as a member of the Art Dealers Association of America.[7]

Roberts Projects relocated in January 2023 to 442 South La Brea Avenue inhabiting a space that was once a Max Barish car dealership.[8]
