The Beverly Hills Art show is one of our favorite happenings. The show is held twice a year. It is a juried show and has the best of everything. What's nice is we can always look forward to seeing new artists at this show. Another bonus is that the artist is always present to answer questions and talk about their art. If you are hungry, there are many food trucks in the center of the art show. There are approximately five blocks worth of artist to view. It's a great show. There is free street parking. The Beverly Hills police will ignore the two hour limit parking on the days of the art show. Please respect the neighborhood as it is a residential area. read more

A stroll or walk-run through Beverly Gardens Park is relatively routine when visiting Los Angeles. Still, we've often planned to visit our relatives around the time of the semi-annual (Spring and Fall) Beverly Hills Art Show to view this showcase of painting, mixed media, photography, sculpture, ceramics, glass, jewelry, drawing, and printmaking from local and artists around the nation. Also, part of our plan is to enjoy lunch from one or two of their gourmet food trucks at their Wine and Beer Garden after viewing the artwork for a nice picnic lunch. The free admission, weekend-long art show encompasses four city blocks in Beverly Gardens Park along Santa Monica Boulevard and goes on rain or shine. According to the information desk and map of artists, this Spring's event showcased over 300 artists. The original works range from traditional to very contemporary pieces and are represented by the creative artist in person. We enjoy talking with friendly artists willing to share their inspiration(s) or background to their work. Because we haven't purchased large art pieces and we live out-of-State, we can't say whether or not the artist will assist in wrapping or shipping the artwork to your home. Most times, we've bought either jewelry or small art pieces that we can either pack in our suitcase or carry on board with us during our return flight to Hawai'i. There are multiple City parking structures located one or two blocks south of the show site, or if you're lucky, you might be able to find free street parking north of the show. 2023 marks this art show's 50th Anniversary, and appeared to be more festive than in years past. We look forward to returning and browsing the art show in the Fall. read more

Happy 50th anniversary to the Beverly Hills Art Show! This is a wonderful event that happens bi-annually on a weekend in May and October. The show is located on Santa Monica Blvd in the Beverly Gardens Park (the one with the lily pond and the "Beverly Hills" sign). It's a lovely way to spend an afternoon. The event is free to the public with lots of artists displaying their artwork in white tents (4 blocks of pure talent). There are lots of different art mediums to peruse from photography to sculptures to pottery and oil paintings. You can even watch some artists paint live. The event is dog friendly. There are food trucks, a wine and beer garden, and long tables to hang out. They also had chairs and umbrellas by the lily pond. A nice addition this year was a selfie booth with props. Parking is on the street or a nearby garage. read more

It happens twice a year: once in the spring and once in the fall. I've been going for decades, and bought my favorite art piece from here YEARS ago. As I do much of Los Angeles, I most definitely prefer the quaintness of how it was way back then when it was just artists sprawled on the greenery with their artwork leaning on boxes and crates really atop a tarp. It just made it easier to organically connect with the pieces. I fondly remember one artist who was so moved by how much I fell in love with one of her pieces that she let the then straight-out-of-college girl just send her payments when I could afford it. It took me a really long time to pay it off and pick it up from her home...probably much longer than she had hoped, lol! Today it seems a little too polished and the artists are almost a little too established. I much preferred the lineup of struggling artists from long ago, the ones who really wanted to reach out and connect with you and tell their story and process. The ones who used actual paint. I guess that era is long gone. I still appreciate the Beverly Hills Art Show, but I haven't really seen any pieces that I absolutely must have in a really long time. I'd love for the intimacy to return! read more

This is one of my favorite Art Show-s in the city! It takes place twice a year, in May and October alongside Beverly Gardens Park, a nice setting near Rodeo Dr and Beverly Dr., it goes on for about three blocks. The art is diverse - painting, sculptures, photography, pottery, jewelry, home decor. Various styles, medium, prices, sizes. I know it started again in October post-pandemic but this was my first time to check it out again. It never dissappointes. It's great browsing, picking some nice piece of art, enjoying a food truck dish. They also have an area for that, now with picnic tables. A major plus. This is where I had my first food from a truck years back! Nice outdoor fair, there's parking garages in the area that offer 2 hrs. free. Bit too much police for my taste, otherwise, all good! Great art, beautiful nature around with jacaranda trees in bloom and the pond full of lillies. A great way to spend an afternoon in town! read more

Great variety of media and artists . Parking issues but it is such a big event that you won't have to walk too far. Lots of food trucks and shady places to sit too. Art was priced well . read more

Art, Fart...This show is okay. I enjoyed walking around and talking with some of the Artists. It's a fun place to see and be seen and then you can get lunch or dinner in Beverly Hills--makes for a fun relaxing day. There were some very talented folks there and maybe you will see something you want to hang in your place? Prices are all over the place--some cheap copies and some very expensive. Most of the Artists do not like you photographing their stuff and if you try they will scold you like I saw happen a few times. That is understandable. I would check this out one time if you have never been. read more

Beverly Hills artSHOW May 19-20 10am-6pm @Beverly Gardens Park Fun to walk, look, see, eat, drink and shop ;) read more

I liked some of the art that I saw. The artists that caught my eye were abstract figurative artists like Robin Walker. Great place to meet and chat with local artists and learn the story behind their creations. read more

Worst show this year. The art wasn't very good. I have attended for many years but this year didn't meet expectations of years past. Don't know who curated this years show but they should reconsider this falls show. read more

This is my excuse to window shop on Rodeo Drive, plus it was sunny and gorgeous the day I came here! The 2 day art show runs each May and October (and has for the past 44 years) and is one of the most popular art events on the west coast. Partners with the Los Angeles Art Association and other guest galleries and takes place on four blocks of the beautiful historic 'Beverly Gardens Park' right in the heart of Beverly Hills. I saw works from over 240 international and domestic artists. The SHOW runs along Santa Monica Boulevard from Rodeo Drive to Rexford Drive. Also offers a street of food trucks, a beer garden and a wine garden, each with their own menus. Some great artists whose work I enjoyed were Ed Hart, Steven Michael O'Connor, Jean-christophe Dick, and David Falossi (only artist ever to have been selected twice for the Mayor's Purchase Award), Shawn R Harris (my fave) and Desarae M Lee. Artists display their works here by INVITE ONLY, so, a pretty special event. Ed Hart (cool sculpture artist) invited me to come here to check it out and so happy I did, it was a great way to spend the day! Best Art Show I've ever been to! read more

I look forward to going to this to see all the incredible artists. I've bought earrings and received a glass blown piece for my birthday a few years ago. I need to save more to get some of the other pieces that I've been eyeing forever. It's comforting to see that the artists come back each year giving me chances to continue to save up!! Was a gorgeous day to walk around and the food trucks are nice to have to grab a bite. read more

Beer garden, food trucks, and a bedazzled motorcycle...I'm sold! I love art shows because 1.) so many things to see 2.) many unique things to buy 3.) art is important. We live in a society/culture were the "arts" are the first to get cut in education when there is a lack of funding, so it is always great to see artists and the work they do...more importantly, to see people supporting them! I love the fact that it is outdoors and that it has a "casual" feel. It gives the audience a chance to relax and get to really talk to the artists. I was amazed to see so many artists from Laguna Beach and Tustin (my neighbors!). From photography, sculptures, pottery, and more, all the art was just great to see. It was really cool and peaceful to have jazz bands playing in the beer and wine gardens. The good trucks were great! Love that shave ice truck! So good! I really loved the trees at this park...really enhanced a lot of the art work! read more

Love attending the art show I'm Beverly Hills. I usually buy different pieces my favorite artist- Nelson De La Nuez . He's a phenomenal artist. All the art displayed is phenomenal and exceptional. As an artist myself, I can appreciate all types of art. Great for families and first time attendees. Have to get there early to find parking. Set in a lovely park along Santa Monica Blvd. Worth the time to stop by and , and one might find something to purchase. read more

This is an excellent place (3rd week of May and October, sat and sun 10-6) to walk the beautiful park and enjoy some wonderful art. All 240 of the artists are present to answer any questions potential buyers might have. Two thumbs up Beverly Hills! read more

OI found the art to be old style and redundant. Yes there is some talent but nothing refreshing. I did not enjoy it!

After never making it to this year after year, we finally decided to do it. Easy enough free parking for 2 hours. Plenty of time to go through the whole thing. Some interesting mediums and pieces with any art fair, nice vibe, but overall the art wasn't so much our cup of tea, like 90% of it. Still had a nice time, walking around on a lovely California day. There were food trucks and a little cafe in the middle. Had some chicken wings from the Ludo Truck and was extremely disappointed. Oh, well, he's still cute. Glad we did it, but won't need to do it again. read more

Lots of cool art. Parking was quite easy. 2 hours free on Beverly Dr. Food trucks! Didnt eat anything but they had a good bunch to choose from with hardly any lines. Great thing to do on a weekend. read more

Great location to displays the artists work & the pond was refreshing as the back drop. We drove from La Quinta, CA. to see the work of Ian Ely and his awesome photography. His photography draws you in and makes you feel like your on an adventure with nature read more

Lots and lots of art and sculptures with food trucks! So many new artists, Adam Stone stood out the most to me for his work and we got a slice of Johnnys Pizza of New York. A lot of walking but prices for the pieces were a little out of my range. read more

Great way to spend an afternoon or more. Very diverse exhibitors of various forms of art. Very nice quality from all types of artists. There is something for everybody to enjoy. Depending on the artists, some are very good value in my opinion. There are all types of art and I would think there is something for everybody. Have attended two years in a row now. read more
