LA Art Show

Los Angeles Convention Center, Los Angeles

The LA Art Show, the largest and most successful platform for contemporary and traditional art in the West, returns to the Los Angeles Convention Center, South Hall J & K, January 15 – 19, 2014. Produced by the Palm Beach Show Group, the 2013 show was a record-breaking success with show hours extended to accommodate more than 50,000 energetic collectors. Participating galleries reported strong sales and more than twenty-five million dollars in transactions were made throughout the 4-day show with many more recorded post-event. “We have deep roots in Los Angeles and have nurtured them for nearly two decades,” states Show Producer Kim Martindale. “This is why we are LA’s art show. Our foundation here is strong and our complete art experience format continues to resonate with Angelenos.”

The LA Art Show is unique in the art world, providing collectors with an expansive breadth of galleries that crosses contemporary, historic and print genres. Acquired by the Palm Beach Show Group in 2012, the LA Art Show celebrated its most successful show to date in its inaugural year under new ownership.

The LA Art Show’s distinctive ‘fair-within-a-fair,’ features four sections in the 180,000 square foot exhibit hall: A Modern & Contemporary Section, Historic & Traditional Contemporary Section, Vintage Poster Section and the LA IFPDA Print Fair. Each section is carefully honed to meet the needs of serious collectors and allows galleries the opportunity to connect with like-minded collectors.

The 2014 LA Art Show will feature an exclusive and impressive collection of galleries selected by the LA Art Show’s Gallery Selection Committee, and an exciting roster of programming including an engaging lecture series, ground-breaking special exhibits by top curators, artist book signings, guided show tours, mixers, and evening events.

Sister Cities of Los Angeles, which creates and strengthens relationships between Los Angeles and her 25 Sister Cities around the world, will partner with the 2014 Opening Night Premiere Party to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Los Angeles’ partnership with sister city, Bordeaux, France. The LA Art Show will announce the 2014 celebrity host shortly.

The LA Art Show has been the only art event in the region to consistently grow, develop and expand. Throughout its 19-year history, other art shows have come and gone while the LA Art Show continues to meet the needs of Los Angeles’ art community. Centrally located at one of the most technologically advanced Convention Centers in the world, the LA Art Show has helped spearhead the transformation of Los Angeles’ Downtown Area from a business center to a lively entertainment and art district.
