History

Founded in 2005 by art historian Marissa Del Toro, Décor Art Galleries began as a small storefront space on Ventura Boulevard before moving to its current expansive location in 2012. The gallery played a key role in Studio City’s cultural renaissance, helping transform the neighborhood from a primarily residential area into a thriving arts destination. Over the years, it has hosted breakthrough exhibitions for now-prominent LA artists and partnered with major art fairs across California. The gallery’s name reflects its original mission of bridging the gap between fine art and interior design – a philosophy that continues today through its consulting services for both private and corporate collectors.
