Located in Los Angeles’ Chinatown since 2017, Bel Ami takes its name from Guy Maupassant's eponymous novel about an opportunistic young man corrupted by the allure of power. Bel Ami is co-owned and directed by Eric Kim, Naoki Sutter-Shudo and Lee Foley. Offering a platform to both local and international artists, Bel Ami’s program focuses on unusual and overlooked work.
