The LA Art Show returns to the Los Angeles Convention Center from February 19 to 23, 2025, celebrating its 30th anniversary and reaffirming its pioneering role in shaping the city’s reputation as a global art hub. With over 100 galleries from around the world participating, the show promises an expansive range of artistic expressions, spanning multiple mediums and price points. The inclusivity of the event ensures that both emerging art enthusiasts and seasoned collectors will find works that resonate with them.
In light of the devastating fires that have affected the region, the decision to move forward with the show is a testament to the resilience of LA’s creative community. “As LA’s longest-running art fair, our mission is unequivocal: to champion the artists and galleries that constitute our cultural landscape,” says director and producer Kassandra Voyagis. She emphasizes that this year’s show is not only about celebrating art but also about contributing to the healing and rebuilding efforts, offering much-needed support to both artists and the greater community.
To acknowledge and honor the relentless work of first responders, free entry to the fair from February 20 to 23 will be granted to firefighters and their families. The LA Art Show will also make a charitable donation toward rebuilding efforts, with details on the beneficiary organization to be announced soon.
A highlight of the event will be a large-scale live mural titled “Heroes,” created by renowned LA artist Robert Vargas during the Opening Night event. This piece will serve as a tribute to the first responders who have courageously served Los Angeles, capturing the city’s unbreakable spirit in the face of adversity.
In alignment with its mission to foster cultural understanding through art, the LA-based Building Bridges Art Exchange will feature works by artists who have lost their homes and studios in the fires. All proceeds from these sales will directly support those affected, ensuring that art remains a beacon of hope even in the most challenging times.
Tickets are available at www.laartshow.com, with 15% of proceeds benefiting the American Heart Association’s Life is Why™ campaign, further reinforcing the show’s commitment to making a meaningful impact beyond the art world.
