Los Angeles, CA (February 22, 2023)<\/strong> –\u00a0The LA Art Show<\/a>, LA\u2019s largest and longest-running art fair, wrapped up its 28th<\/sup> iteration following a triumphant return to the Los Angeles Convention Center on February 15 through 19, 2023. Guided by the leadership of LA Art Show producer and director Kassandra Voyagis, the fair kicked off the City\u2019s art season, uniting galleries, curators, collectors, and celebrities alike. LA Art Show 2023 saw a larger global presence than ever before with over 120 galleries and 35% higher attendance than last year\u2019s show, bringing the total attendees to around 60,000 people.<\/p>\n

The fair debuted with a successful Opening Night Premiere Party hosted by actress Ashley Tisdale, raising funds for St. Jude Children\u2019s Research Hospital, the show\u2019s charitable partner of 9 years, who received 15% of all ticket proceeds. Visitors gathered to see iconic LA artist Robert Vargas live painting a powerful mural as part of the series, The sacRED Project. “Protect The Life Givers,” was on view throughout and is the third mural in a three-city series \u2013 Albuquerque, New York City and now Los Angeles \u2013 addressing the epidemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and the #MMIW movement.<\/p>\n

The European Pavilion returned along with an increased presence from Asia marked by the launch of the Japanese Pavilion as well as 15 galleries from South Korea, a testament to the country\u2019s thriving arts scene, which was celebrated with an opening night reception for Korean dignitaries.<\/p>\n

\u201cI spent much of 2022 traveling to scout international participants and it was inspiring to see attendees blown away by the scope of the work represented at this year\u2019s show. It was an honor to help bring it all together and we will continue to expand our international presence\u201d says LA Art Show producer Kassandra Voyagis.<\/p>\n
