 New Langton Arts emerged into a local ecology that already or soon would contain peers such as Site/Cite/Sight (run by artist Alan Scarritt), La Mamelle, Inc./Art Com (run by Carl E. Loeffler), Galeria de la Raza (run by René Yañez and Ralph Maradiaga), San Francisco Camerawork, Southern Exposure, Tom Marioni’s Museum of Conceptual Art among others.All these organizations shared some of the ideals mentioned above.These emerging arts organizations were an extension into the fine arts realm of alternative organizations of the era that sought to insert themselves between producers and consumers in ways that bypassed traditional distribution methods, whether in education, food, or information distribution.
