Located in Los Angeles, Space 15 Twenty is a unique retail setting, which creates an opportunity for Urban Outfitters to collaborate with creative brands we find inspiring and interesting.
Within the 12,690 square foot Urban Outfitters store, we showcase distinctive designers with a new pop-up shop every month. In tandem with these exclusive installations, Space 15 Twenty hosts a selection of adjoining vendors that reflect and compliment the Urban Outfitters brand.
Each store is connected by an outdoor courtyard, which includes a performance space and adjacent gallery, both of which encourage participation in the curated environment. Aligning with local music, film and art venues, the courtyard and gallery present a rotating cast of musicians and artists.
The revolving brands utilizing these spaces present our customers with an overarching view of people and brands which are excited to be aligned with.

Mar 20 2010 07:00PM Project White T-shirt Opening Reception
Project White T-Shirt, a charitable project that has enlisted 31 designers from 13 countries to redefine the iconic white t-shirt. Each designer has deconstructed and recreated the white t-shirt as we know it. An online gallery launched at www.projectwhitetshirt.com exhibits previews of the pieces each week, with the Project culminating in an online auction. Bidders will have an opportunity to own the one-of-a-kind pieces and contribute to Designers Against AIDS—the Belgium-based organization that will receive all proceeds from the auction.

"Scream of the Bikini is a 1960s action-spy-thriller by acclaimed South American director, Fernando Fernandez.
Jasmine Orosco and Paola Apanapal - in their English language film debuts - are Bridget and Sophia: gorgeous super models by day, brutal bounty hunters by night. Murder, intrigue and pillow fights await our beautiful leading ladies at every turn, as they match wits and martial arts with a coterie of madmen and women bent on world domination. Filmed somewhere in South America in 1966, and poorly translated and dubbed by Germans, this unintentionally funny James Bond meets Barbarella love child plumbs the seedy depths of the international fashion model/psycho-killer underworld with a boldness that only a gun to the head can provide."

Mar 24 2010 07:00PM Arthouse Films Movie Series presents... The Cool School: The Story of Ferus Art Gallery
"THE COOL SCHOOL is an abject lesson in how to build an art scene from scratch and what to avoid in the process. The film focuses on the seminal Ferus Gallery, which groomed the LA art scene from a loose band of idealistic beatniks into a coterie of competitive, often brilliant artists, including Ed Kienholz, Ed Ruscha, Craig Kauffman, Wallace Berman, Ed Moses and Robert Irwin. The Ferus also served as launching point for New York imports, Andy Warhol (hosting his first Soup Can show), Jasper Johns, and Roy Lichtenstein, as well as leading to the first Pop Art show and Marcel Duchamp's first retrospective. What was lost and gained is tied up in a complex web of egos, passions, money, and art. This is how LA came of age."

Mar 31 2010 07:00PM Arthouse Films Movie Series presents... Herb & Dorothy
"HERB & DOROTHY tells the extraordinary story of Herbert Vogel, a postal clerk, and Dorothy Vogel, a librarian, who managed to build one of the most important contemporary art collections in history with very modest means. In the early 1960s, when very little attention was paid to Minimalist and Conceptual Art, Herb and Dorothy Vogel quietly began purchasing the works of unknown artists. Devoting all of Herb's salary to purchase art they liked, and living on Dorothy's paycheck alone, they continued collecting artworks guided by two rules: the piece had to be affordable, and it had to be small enough to fit in their one-bedroom Manhattan apartment. Within these limitations, they proved themselves curatorial visionaries; most of those they supported and befriended went on to become world-renowned artists. Their circle includes: Sol LeWitt, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Richard Tuttle, Chuck Close, Robert Mangold, Sylvia Plimack Mangold, Lynda Benglis, Pat Steir, Robert Barry, Lucio Pozzi, and Lawrence Weiner. HERB & DOROTHY is directed by Megumi Sasaki."
