LA Art Show Returns to Support Art Community, First-Responders
LA Art Show returns to the Los Angeles Convention Center from February 19 to 23, 2025 for their 30th anniversary, marking their pioneering role in the city’s emergence as a global epicenter of art. With over 100 galleries from all over the world participating, attendees can expect a rich tapestry of artistic voices and works, ranging in mediums and price points, ensuring accessibility to the next generation of enthusiasts while also catering to established art collectors.
The decision to proceed, in the wake of the tragic fires, was made in support 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. “This decision stemmed from a resolute commitment to aid in the healing and rebuilding efforts while offering much-needed community support and reprieve.”
Free entry to the fair (Feb 20-23) will be given to firefighters and their families as a thank-you for their tireless efforts on behalf of all Angelenos. Actress, dancer and producer Jenna Dewan is the host for the 2025 LA Art Show Opening Night Premiere Party on Wednesday, February 19, 2025 from 6:00pm-10:00pm. Tickets for the VIP event and fair are available for purchase at LAArtShow.com. Free general admission entry to the fair (Feb 20-23) will be given to firefighters and their families as a thank-you for their tireless efforts on behalf of all Angelenos. In conjunction with supporting the American Heart Association’s Life is Why™ Campaign. The LA Art Show is also working with the California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Recovery Fund in its fundraising efforts and is giving attendees the option to donate when purchasing tickets.
Popular LA Artist Robert Vargas will create a massive live mural, “Heroes,” during the Opening Night event as a heartfelt tribute to the first responders who continue to heroically serve the city. The artwork will also be a symbol of hope and perseverance, reflecting Los Angeles’ unwavering spirit in overcoming adversity.
Dedicated to cultivating cultural understanding through the arts, LA-based Building Bridges Art Exchange will showcase art from artists who have lost their homes and studios in the fires with all proceeds going to support them.
Tickets are at www.laartshow.com and 15% of proceeds will be donated to the American Heart Association’s Life is Why™ campaign.
