What's Happening?
The LA Art Show has announced its plans for the 2027 event, marking its 32nd installment. The show will take place from January 6-10 at the Los Angeles Convention Center’s West Hall, featuring over 90 exhibitors from the U.S. and internationally. Key
new developments include a partnership with GLAAD, with 15 percent of ticket proceeds benefiting the media watchdog organization. Tixr has been named the new ticketing partner to enhance the attendee experience. Additionally, Fine Art Shows, the producers of the LA Art Show, will launch 'Art Under 10,' a new fair dedicated to emerging galleries and contemporary works created within the last five years and priced under $10,000. This concurrent event will be held in Petree Hall from January 8-10, with admission included in LA Art Show tickets.
Why It's Important?
The LA Art Show's 2027 plans are significant for the art market and cultural landscape of Los Angeles. The partnership with GLAAD introduces a philanthropic dimension, directing a portion of sales to a prominent LGBTQ+ advocacy group, which could attract a broader and more socially conscious audience. The introduction of 'Art Under 10' addresses a crucial segment of the art market by supporting emerging artists and galleries, making contemporary art more accessible to new collectors and fostering talent. This initiative could stimulate the local art economy and provide a platform for artists who might otherwise struggle to gain visibility. The show's continued presence and evolution reinforce Los Angeles's status as a major global art hub, attracting both established and new collectors, and promoting cultural exchange.
What's Next?
The LA Art Show will proceed with its 32nd annual event from January 6-10, 2027, at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Attendees can expect a streamlined ticketing process through the new partner, Tixr. The 'Art Under 10' fair will run concurrently from January 8-10, offering a dedicated space for emerging art. The partnership with GLAAD will see 15 percent of ticket proceeds directed to the organization, highlighting a commitment to social causes. Exhibitors, including returning galleries like JS Gallery and Arcadia Contemporary, and newcomers such as Avant Gallery and Bluerider ART, will prepare their collections for display. Further details and specific programming for the 2027 show are expected to be released as the event approaches.
