A new art exhibit titled DOUBLEPLAY has opened at Eastern Projects Gallery in Los Angeles' Chinatown, featuring Dodgers-themed works by artists Billy Kheel and Pat Riot. The show includes Riot's bubble-gum portraits and Kheel's hand-sewn felt tapestries, celebrating Dodgers culture and sports history. The exhibition runs through November 22, 2025, timed to coincide with the World Series.
This exhibit matters because it merges local sports fandom with contemporary visual art, offering a unique cultural experience that draws on community identity and the excitement of a major sporting event. It highlights how galleries can engage broader audiences by tapping into popular culture, making art accessible to fans who might not typically visit art spaces.
