About Us

Open Door Contemporary Art Projects has a long and rich history that didn't start here on the web. It began with Dr. Lizzetta LeFalle-Collins' independent curatorial company: LeFalleCuratorial.

Working in academia and the public sector, LeFalleCuratorial’s projects have increasingly evolved from research and exhibition projects on the art of African Americans to curatorial expertise in the Art of the Black/African Diaspora. Former founding Visual Arts Curator for the California African American Museum in Los Angeles and Deputy Director/Director of Curatorial Affairs for the Museum of the African Diaspora in San Francisco, LeFalle-Collins, has been an independent curator and Principal of LeFalleCuratorial, for over fifteen years, specializing in the modernist and contemporary eras. She has participated in international biennale projects in Bermuda, Brazil, and South Africa. She is currently Visiting Faculty in Art History, Graduate School, San Francisco Art Institute. LeFalle-Collins also has a background in fine art practice.

Dr. LeFalle-Collins now brings this rich and unique body of experience to the web.
