From Jan. 7-11, 2026, the LA Art Show will return to the Los Angeles Convention Center for its 31st year. To be the first in line to view the exhibits, you can purchase tickets for the VIP Opening Night Premiere, scheduled for Jan. 7, 2026.
For more than three decades, the largest and longest-running art fair in Los Angeles, and one of the few independently owned fairs of this magnitude, has brought artists from around the world to Los Angeles, one of the most influential cities known for setting global trends in music, fashion, arts and entertainment. Los Angeles is the perfect host for this vibrant showcase that celebrates diverse perspectives and voices. Under the direction of the show’s producer and director, Kassandra Voyagis, the art show’s significance in this moment and in this city is more relevant than ever.
When reflecting on the significance of the show’s continued presence in L.A., Voyagis reflected on the 2025 art show, which took place just days after devastating fires tore through Los Angeles: “Although it was an unimaginable time for the city, we are thankful that so many people came out for last year’s remarkable 30th anniversary edition, during which we got to support the artistic community while also paying homage to the resilience of Los Angeles.”
The 2026 iteration of the LA Art Show will feature more than 90 new and returning exhibitions from around the globe, including the U.S., Latin America, Europe and Asia. For the first time, Dublin, Ireland, will be represented by the Oliver Sears Gallery.
The Exhibits

They will display actor, screenwriter and contemporary artist Sylvester Stallone’s canvas paintings. The multihyphenate has been an artist since his adolescence, often using his abstract canvas painting to help develop the iconic characters he plays on screen.

DIVERSEartLA (Los Angeles, CA)
This year, DIVERSEartLA, the art fair’s noncommercial educational platform, returns for the ninth consecutive year. The curator, Marisa Caichiolo, was recently selected to co-curate Chile’s official pavilion at the 61st Venice Biennale of Art in 2026, reinforcing the significance of her vision within the art world. This year’s DIVERSEartLA will examine the evolutionary role of museums and “biennials” (large-scale biannual contemporary art exhibits) and how they continue to shape the evolving art landscape. The program will highlight the duality of the museums and biennials’ complementary and conflicting functions for encouraging public engagement, innovation and dialogue.
Latin American Pavilion (Latin America)
Curated by Marisa Caichiolo, the Latin American Pavilion will spotlight emerging artists from across the continent of America, marking a significant expansion of the art fair’s international program. The pavilion will feature artists from the Artier Fine Art Gallery and Verse Gallery, celebrating Latin artists at a time when immigration issues are significantly impacting the community. Caichiolo denotes, “It is especially important to provide a platform for these artists. … Their perspectives are vital to a more complete and equitable understanding of contemporary art.”
J&J Art (Korea)
The art fair will showcase 15 Korean galleries just three miles from L.A.’s vibrant Korean American community, Koreatown (K-Town). One of the featured galleries will be J&J Art with Elegant Freedom by Jinny Suh, whose Hanji-based works examines the intersection of nature, color and history.
