Over the past few years, art fairs have become major attractions with galleries and collectors flying in from around the world to visit them. They've become very important financially to the participating galleries and to the communities where they're located. Some art fairs like Frieze and Art Basel are huge and regularly feature the top galleries in the world. Other are regionally organized and focused like the LA Art Show, Felix and Intersect Palm Springs, and some fairs are for emerging galleries, curators and artists like the Spring Break Art Show. All of the fairs offer amazing artworks and visual stimulation, so plan on attending them.
