If you have been stuck inside and are looking for a REAL WORLD art experience in the Los Angeles area, then we have good news for you: the LA Art Show, the most comprehensive international contemporary art show in America, is returning to the LA Convention Center next week!
LA’s largest and longest-running art fair makes i return to its return to provide a sense of normalcy for attendees, galleries, and the art world as a whole. Returning producer and director Kassandra Voyagis is once again at the helm.
Since travel bans are beginning to lift, many of the show’s favorite participating galleries from Europe and Asia will be in attendance. Among other highly anticipated returns, DIVERSEartLA is back with a new ecological lens. Curated by Marisa Caichiolo, this year’s edition will examine not just how the environment is represented in art, but how humanity’s place in the world is depicted. This exhibition will open up an important dialogue about the Earth’s past, present, and future, uniting the community around discussions of the global climate crisis and potential solutions.
The NFT craze will be well-represented, introducing attendees to the incredible trend in digital art. The show is committed to creating the most comprehensive contemporary art experience possible.
Ticket buyers will also support a great cause. St. Jude returns as the beneficiary with the LA Art Show donating 15% of all ticket proceeds to its life saving mission.
DIVERSEARTLA STATEMENT 2022
“The goal of DIVERSEartLA 2022 is to view this sector of art within the show through ecological glasses: how the environment is represented in art installations and objects, and also how humans’ place in the world is depicted. Saving the planet, and documenting change in our environment (Past – Present – Future). One of the most powerful things about art is that it brings people together, and transforms the way we communicate.
“This topic is at the heart of a growing number of art narratives, including exhibitions built with high-tech innovations, designed to inspire artistic appreciation and the desire to respond to environmental challenges, reinforcing the value of translating environmental advocacy into art.
“These installations represent our present day and the looming impact we will all face as the planet warms. DIVERSEartLA 2022 will encourage visitors to confront the complex challenges of our global climate crisis and imagine potential solutions.” Marisa Caichiolo
