LOS ANGELES ART FAIR GUIDE
Los Angeles is now one of the world's premier art cities. It's a great area for
contemporary art and it's now become a major art fair destination. This guide features
upcoming art fairs and information related to them, plus other visual arts and events
going on in the Los Angeles area. Additional art fair details are added when available,
usually this happens as the fairs get closer to opening, so refresh your browser often.
Basic info on past and distant future fairs is also included near the bottom.
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
and Felix, and some fairs are for emerging galleries, curators and artists like The
Other Art Fair and Spring Break Art Show. All of the fairs offer amazing artworks and
visual stimulation, so plan on attending them.
Art galleries, museums, non-profit art organizations, and artists are important, please
support them when possible. This guide is my effort to support them and to provide you
with information. Individuals, galleries and art organization can also help by sharing
this site with art friends or posting links in Social Media. Thanks in advance your help
is appreciated. Also, if you discover a wonderful exhibition, gallery or art fair
because of this guide, don't keep it a secret, tell the organizers and your friends. Get

Los Angeles has emerged as a global epicenter of art & culture, with a distinct, interwoven multi-cultural influence unique to the city. Diversity is our strength and art is most impactful when it includes or transcends all borders. As LA rises as the world-class destination for art, LA Art Show continues to lead the way with innovative programming and one-of-a-kind experiences for an expanding collecting audience. The fair offers an extraordinary array of works and experiences.
The largest section of programming at the LA Art Show, is Modern + Contemporary exhibits, featuring the spectrum of contemporary painting, illustration, sculpture and more from galleries in Los Angeles, the Pacific Rim, and countries all around the world. Capitalizing on the city’s position on the Pacific Rim, DIVERSEartLA is a special programming section devoted to nurturing the creative energy of international collectors, artists, curators, museums and non-profits by connecting them directly with audiences in Los Angeles. The LA Art Show also donates 50,000 square feet of exhibition space to participating organizations each year as our civic engagement. This year there will be a pavilion dedicated to European galleries. Opening night supports St. Jude Children's Hospital and is always fun, with good food, art and people watching, they even have a red carpet for celebrities.
