artLA It has been over a decade since Los Angeles hosted a major contemporary art fair and much has happened since then - an explosion of contemporary art galleries and an expansion of local museum programs that highlight new and contemporary art. Many cultural critics are declaring Los Angeles as the destination to find the latest and most vital artists and galleries in the country.  More and more artists are moving to live and work in Los Angeles and their work is increasingly finding greater exposure around the world. It is fitting that Los Angeles now have an exciting new art fair through which to re-present itself to the art world.  
 
artLA has been created as a public event to bring together a mix of national and international galleries, artists, collectors and curators for a visual discussion of the current art scene. Galleries will present innovative works by established artists and cutting-edge newcomers.  Site-specific installations will feature robotic, video and digital art.  New art and new media in the avant-garde tradition will offer the next generation of artists to the public.
  
artLA is positioned to take the excitement of the local Los Angeles art scene and present it to the community at large as it incorporates the best new and exciting art from around the globe.
