Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, the LA Art Show opens at the Los Angeles Convention Center on February 5. Bringing over 100 galleries from 18 different countries, it will be the biggest show in its history, rivalling the art shows in New York.
This year will premier the European Pavilion with contemporary European galleries, mostly from from Spain, Italy, and the UK. Also for the first time ever, work will be presented by the Danubiana Museum of Bratislava, with a special exhibition from the collection of Homeira Goldstein, and more.
As the largest art fair on the Pacific Rim, the LA Art Show will feature the most extensive Asian arts programming in America.
Now in its third year, the show’s DIVERSEartLA section has grown into the largest exhibition space for non-profit institutions in the world, with over 20,000 square feet of exhibition space. Curated by Marisa Caichiolo, the section showcases the city’s cultural diversity of the institutions, artists and non-profits from Southern California, the Pacific Rim, and beyond. The 2020 lineup for DIVERSEartLA includes LACMA, The Broad, Japanese American National Museum, La Neomudejar Museum from Madrid, MOLAA, Art Al Limite, LA Art Association, and the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center among others.
Proving to be popular in years past, the performance programming for the 2020 DIVERSEartLA includes work by PSJM Collective from Spain and artist Miss Art World presented by the LA Art Association.
LA Art Show’s opening night preview on February 5 is expected to draw over 7,000 VIPs; a portion of its ticket proceed will benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
The diverse audience the show attracts include artists, curators, architects, design professionals, and collectors, and executives and board members, of Southern California businesses, state, county, and representatives of cultural institutions and municipal government.
