It's not Frieze. It attracts a lot of Asian galleries, particularly Korean as they seem to be the only ones buying. There are some interesting pieces especially the Diversity LA installations. One gallery featured Sylvester Stallone paintings. There's one that featured Picasso and Andy Warhol. There are not that many sculptures but one Uruguayan sculptor caught my attention. Another artist painted on glass but had led light backlit as if light is coming through the windows. One gallery showed the same artworks from last year. You would expect that they feature some new works. There are some affordable artworks under $500. They do offer in and out privileges with a hand stamped. read more

The security checked our bags on the way in which is expected but on our way out they checked mine and my daughter's purses again. I had the smallest purse almost a clutch size. I felt disrespected and targeted because I am Hispanic. I had a bad experience with their service and on top of that they included AI art something I stand against. I don't plan to go to back to the LA Art show ever again and I was so excited to go this year because I haven't been in a few years. I got 4 tickets for the family big let down! I paid all this money including $35 for 45 minute parking just to be insulted read more

Great place to spend the day. New, interesting, and creative art. This is a fantastic chance to actually talk to some of the artists. Confused. It's like they're blooming at weird times and they're not blooming when they're supposed to and read more

So not worth $45. Walked out in less than an hour. I recommend just do a virtual tour on their website and you can pretty much see everything. Don't waste your money. read more

Speechless! This was my first time at this event. Luckily, I have citi bank and they were part of this art show, therefore I was able to score some free premiere night tickets for free! & got access to all days for only $30! I uploaded a video and one of my favorite art pieces! I was lucky enough to meet the artist, Ola Rondiak. Such a beautiful person with positive energy, her radiance shows in the picture! read more

Experience: Grateful experience. Was gifted tickets and a short tour with one of the artist. This is my second major art show that I've attended, if I compare it to Art Miami, it was just okay. I wouldn't go out of my way to attend unless I want to support a specific artist or gallery/showroom/museum. With art it all comes down to preference, there was a mix of modern, contemporary, objective, etc. I lean more towards large fixtures or installations that I can engage with (walk through, touch, etc.), there wasn't much of it. Mostly photography, paintings, sculptures, some video performances. Overall, I still appreciated all the artists and exhibitors there. Location & parking: The show was located at the convention center in DTLA. I arrived 45 minutes before the show to find parking at eat. This was more of a hassle. Found a parking after twenty minutes 3 blocks from the center, right by a Mexican restaurant whose name I forgot. Luckily squeezed into a space that didn't have any meter or time restriction. Got lucky. Vibes: It was pretty crowded, it was smack in the middle of the afternoon, around 1pm that I arrived. Not much space to enjoy and fully take in a piece. Always fun to see all the unique attire and ways people socialize in these spaces. It can turn someone away if they aren't used to visiting museums or galleries. I also like how affordable it is, I believe tickets started at $30 for a day pass. It's inviting and available to all people. Tip: Before you buy yourself a ticket, read about the show and what kind of art to expect. Get there towards the opening so you can enjoy some of these spaces to yourself before the rush. I give it a 4 only because I got to be part of a special tour through DIVERSEartLA, which focuses on civic engagement and awareness. I got to meet other artist and get a better understanding of how a non-profit collaborates with this entity in this space. read more

I love the LA Art Show. This is the third year in a row that I have attended. This year, however, they increased the ticket price from $20 to $30 per person for general admission. I like the fact that there is art from all over the globe, not just local artists. This gives us the opportunity to view the art trends in Asia, for instance. You can also get up close and personal, and take pictures of the artwork. There is so much art in one place that you can spend half a day here, appreciating the brush strokes of the paintings, the intended meaning behind the photographs, or wondering how sculptures were created. There are booths where the artist is still creating, and you have the opportunity to observe. And yes, you can take selfies to your heart's content. read more

I look forward to this show every year. It's a dream for those who love art. A wide variety and range of different concepts. Many of the artists are on site from all different parts of the world, and are excited to tell you about their work. There's music, food, and shows as well. Highly recommended. read more

This was my first time at the LA Art Show. I enjoy art just as much as the next person but I think a one-day pass was good enough for me. Unless I'm looking to invest heavily in some pieces and want to revisit the pieces I'm considering, I felt one day at the show was good enough for me! There were a great variety of artwork and in all different mediums. There were the Picasso's, Van Gogh's and Monets...but you also had newer artists that one has never heard of. It was fun to see and it definitely gave me a sense of what I enjoyed and what I didn't. Parking was tough since it looked like the show was sharing space with some cheerleading function. But ultimately, we found a spot that wasn't too far away from the entrance ($20). Refreshments are pricey so be aware. There was no shortage of seating though it helped if you had some sort of VIP access. I really was quite proud of myself (husband was relieved) that I walked away without buying anything. I was slightly tempted a few times but ultimately was just happy to have seen so much creativity. I may just have to check it out next year! read more

It was my 4th time going there and still love it!! Many impressive & variety artworks! It is right in the LA Convention Center next to Staples Center. Their parking are expensive, maybe $20 or more depends on their pricing for specific date. I suggest take LA metro is better; get off at Pico Station with either Blue Line. Only less than 5 mins walk from Pico Station to LA convention center. They do have security check so better not bring big backpack or many stuffs. They have many public bathrooms and they are well cleaned. Included some seats for people to rest little; can bring water bottles & light snack, not other drinks. read more

A MUST DO! Groupon had Discount Tickets for The LA Art Show @ The Convention Center in DTLA. I have to say the Art Work was IMPRESSIVE but the model in the Covid Vaccination Orange Vinyl Dress with a matching Dr. Fauci pocketbook stole the show. She had the whole crowd doing a double take & smiling & laughing. Doesn't matter if you are for or against vaccines she had everyone's heads turning. Great Job! The artists used so many different kinds of mediums to express their artistic creations. There was painting, 3D artwork, Sculptures, Digital Art, Recycked Pieces, Traditional to Contemporary & even Jewelry. There was Lots of inspirational pieces to get some great ideas & people were buying up pieces as well. Even Andy Warhol had a creative space. If you missed it, be sure to check it out next year. It used to be, you had to have Mega Bucks & be really Rich to have the Good Life, not anymore. The Game has changed. You've been Upgraded. Now You Can Live Like a King on a Limited Budget! read more

LA Art Show - Groupon has Discount Tickets for The LA Art Show @ The Convention Center - Art Galleries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The Los Angeles Art Show is a great event where the attendees are presented with the opportunity to view the art of both up-and-coming and established artists alike -- all in one location. The Los Angeles Art Show is presented yearly at the L.A. Convention Center. It is housed in one of the Convention Center's large wings so there is always a ton of galleries showing their wares from across the globe. For the art lover, it is truly an awesome experience. From a personal perspective, I have been attending every year since it launched in '97 and, in fact, prior to that back into the 1980s before it was rebranded. I have never been disappointed. There is a wide variety of art that will suit every taste. If there is a downside to The Los Angeles Art Show it is that some of the art dealers can be pretty heavy-handed. I realize that is their job to sell the art they represent but it can be a bit disconcerting when the dealers come-up and latch themselves onto you trying to make a sale. It can ruin the entire experience of viewing the art in their booth. But, that is just one of the by-products of The Los Angeles Art Show. I'm just telling you this so you can be prepared. Overall GREAT event! If you love to see new and inspiring art, this is the place to go. read more

LA Art Show 2016 was really fun! So many different genres of art, so many different interpretations... The Art Show is hosted in LA Convention Center in DTLA. Paid parking lots all over the place, we found one lot for $15 flat rate. Admission is $20 at the door, but you can purchase online for $15 or even less if you snatch a Groupon deal. I luckily found that Groupon deal AND had a 20% off promo code, so paid $16 for me and the boyfriend. Yeee. The Art Show itself was hugeeee. If you really want to see everything it can take between 3-5 hours. We whizzed past the art pieces that we weren't that into, and managed to go around the entire place within 3 hours. I would say it's hard to describe all the different art pieces, but it went from beautiful oil paintings to real-live humans lying on a patch of flowers. Another interesting one was a girl wearing her undies/bra enclosed in a see-through box, all the while texting on her phone and the screen was available for us to see on the wall. Definitely some creative stuff. Alcoholic drinks and snacks available for purchase. I think I would want to come back next year, but depends. It was fun, but not 5 star worthy! read more

Bought the deal on Livingsocial for $10 (one day admission) The Show: Great artists coming from all over the world. Lots of pictures taking opportunity. Majority of the art works are for sale. It is great to be able to meet with the artists in person. There are a few seminars of different topics about art each day. Very informative. The Food & Beverage: There are a few bars and one coffee stand in the showroom. They also sell sandwiches and hot food. Lots of seating areas. The Parking: Found a parking lot ($5) on Pico & Hope. Next to the metro station. read more

I've been to a few of these over the years and while it can be crazy sensory overload it's always a good time. I prefer the contemporary art side to the "traditional" art side but it felt like there were some pretty modern-looking things over there too. The quality of the art is mostly really good and I like the festive, free-for-all atmosphere--makes the art feel more accessible, I think. There were some cool installation and performance projects as well--really something for everyone! Several bars and seating areas throughout so you can rest your dogs and wet your whistle while you peruse the arts. It's not that expensive, either; I got half off tickets through Groupon ($10) and apparently as it got closer they were even giving free tickets away, so I think it's really worth checking out.

Will NEVER miss this show, it is amazing. This year, we saw original Van Goghs, Toulouse-Lautrec, Rembrandt (!!) and countless other masters. You'd spend a fortune going to museums to see this caliber of art. I get my tickets usually on Groupon or Living Social a month or two before the event and its 10.00 per person. So worth it. Great for older kids too. The downside is there is some sections where the art is pretty awful. But make sure you do the whole go-around. Every year, more and more quality artists are represented. Love the convention center location, I park a couple clocks away, and if you go early, like before 1pm, the parking is cheaper. Walking distance to LA LIve, the Grammy Museum, and there's also a light rail right there, I think it goes to and from West L.A. I'd love to be able to take public trans next time, I'll have to see if that can be done from Covina... read more

Yelpers! Mark your calendars for this super-fun event which takes place at the LA Convention Center every January. Imagine a giant museum where you can talk, get really close to the art, take as many pics as you want, and even ask "hey how much does this cost?" That's the LA Art Show! Admission is $20, but tons of on-line links for $10 tix. Parking costs are proportionate to your distance from the convention center, but just 100 feet away can spell big savings. Across from convention center parking lot? $20. One block up from there? $5! You feel rich before you even get inside. Inside, there's something for every taste, from old masters to contemporary and everything in between. At the 2014 show, there was a huge exhibition of modern art from China. Art hater? About 200 booths sell fancy-pants jewelry and classic Hermes bags and the like. Beware. Before making comments such as, why, a ___ year old could have painted that, be aware that many booths are staffed by the artists themselves. Though pets are not permitted, you would never know it. The arty crowd is apparently also the 'companion pet' crowd; there were well-over 25 dogs at this 'no pet' event on Saturday, on hand to prevent possible anxiety attacks of their owners. Limited food, drink and booze here, as all are provided by the unimaginative LA Convention center food vendor. Too many great places to eat downtown, pre- or post- show, anyway! Take away? The Art Show is a hit! read more

What a great show. I'm very glad I came. Although there were a lot of people there I still felt like I was in a museum taking in the beautiful art and sculptures. The seminars were informative and the live demonstrations were simply spectacular. I'm not much into modern art. I'm more of a baroque & impressionist guy so I was glad to see some of Monet and Rembrandt there. I was thoroughly engrossed in those booths and for those precious minutes it was just their art and me in the room. I shall definitely return next year. read more

A fun little art show with a diverse group of artists. I really think their might be something for everyone. The show does lean a little heavier on the contemporary side. I like low brow art so I enjoyed the Littletopia section of the exhibit. There is also a small section with furniture & jewelry with one vendor selling vintage Chanel & Hermes handbags, be still my beating heart!! I always enjoy looking at art, so this was definitely a nice way to spend a Saturday afternoon. read more

what a wonderful opening premiere last night! Opening Reception Party: Wednesday January 11, 2017 7PM- 11PM located at the LA Convention Center in the West Hall. parking structure for West Hall available. if you love the Broad museum, then this show will blow your mind!!! this was such an amazing experience for me. The LA Art Show embraces everything i love about art: classic, modern and contemporary. Many artists, collectors, and galleries from everywhere in one exhibition! and it was so amazing to meet with these artists, talk with them and dig deep into their minds on their uniqueness and creativeness into the art they display! it was such an honor to have the opportunity to be the first to preview art from top galleries and enjoy culinary delights and specialty beverages courtesy of L.A.s finest restaurant. my favorite food vendor of the night was PINKS HOTDOGS and SCALA! ommgggg devoured!!!! as we have a friend that has their own exhibition space, we were blessed with the opportunity to have VIP passes last night. The VIP section includes with bar of only Tequila, Whiskey or Rum and live DJ.. oh and of course, beautiful people this is ongoing until Sunday so get your tickets and check it out! it is one hell of an experience!! for obvious reasons, i was unable to take a picture of all the artwork but i did capture some of my favorite pieces!!!! Show Dates for the Public Thursday Jan. 12, 201711am - 7pm Friday Jan. 13, 2017 11am - 7pm Saturday Jan. 14, 2017 11am - 7pm Sunday Jan. 15, 2017 11am - 5pm as a Registered Nurse, my favorite & most humbling part of this whole experience is that a portion of the proceeds go to St. Jude`s Children Research Hospital. beautiful! read more

I always love attending this show every year! This year I was invited to the Premier Opening party which was extra special. Art galleries were mostly from the US, but some European and Asian countries were represented too. In the past it was more diverse. I wish more foreign art galleries were represented. There are some of the same art pieces from the years past here again this year, however, seeing the same art again still made my experience a good one. This show is mostly contemporary modern art, but there are some key classic art galleries represented where you can see Renoir, Monet, Picasso and more. I love to see what is current in the art trend here at the LA Art Sho. You can arrive either by public transportation like the Expo Line which makes it quite easy. No need to drive or pay for parking. You can buy discounted tickets on Groupon and Living Social. read more

Definitely a good feeling to live in LA and see so many people out to enjoy a day of art (modern/contemporary and historic/traditional). See, east coast, we enjoy culture, especially if it means we get to post a pic of it on social media to show how much depth we have. I didn't go through the process of purchasing tickets for this, but I imagine it was fairly easy since a GF had discounted e-tickets in her possession within about 5-10 minutes of an email asking me if I would be interested in popping by. It's super overwhelming when you first walk in. The friend and I veered to the right where we saw neon lights and bright colors and odd shapes (as opposed to the antique-y looking left side with green walls and not so flattering lighting). There wasn't a map, but there was a key of gallery spaces represented, so you had to be in the know or do your homework before attending to avoid walking around aimlessly like we did. Though, walking around aimlessly has its perks, too, because you discover pieces or artists you wouldn't seek out otherwise. We got lost/turned around about six times even though we were trying our best to meander through the aisles in some kind of disciplined fashion. So, logistics aside, I really enjoyed all the variety of art on display. Definitely no shortage of interesting pieces, artists, gallery collabs. If you have a whole day to explore, I definitely think it's a great way to spend the day when it comes around again (they've even got little food/beverage - including alcohol - outlets to keep the hunger/thirst pains at bay). This might seem super juvenile, but maybe a a fun map that begs you to follow a certain path (pieces that have a common theme, artists that have a similar point of view, etc) might be a fun way for someone who's not super knowledgeable about the local art scene better navigate the massive space. read more

Great art show, really nice. Fantastic day, not too crowded, nice people, variety of art work outstanding. From classic to modern, from China, Korea, France, Italy, oil, mix media, prints, photography, some sculpture. Galleries from around the world showing their top of the line, see photos. Best art show I've seen so far. Totally worth the $15 tickets when purchasing online, $20 at the door or print online coupon. Parking nearby for $5, turns into $8 later in the day. LA Convention Center parking is $1i2. P.S. Attn Hall Monitor Jennifer: Maybe if you asked nicely people would let you take photos as I did. In fact, I was encouraged to take photos, including the gallery representative who encouraged me to be sure to photograph the paintings AND the furniture together because that's how the artist intended his work be viewed: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/IjAFtQ5ao9QWY3SHHLjUIg?select=bZqUkCAk8j5YczcHRF1g5g Plus, if you were more well read you might be familiar with more than food sites. LAist took plenty of photos including the many people that posted photos on the FaceBook group. Another yelper also posted photos. As your review notes, plenty of people were taking pictures, and that the gallery owners didn't care. I will venture to say that their opinions matter more your "annoying" thoughts. Try forwarding your comments to the links below, good luck with that: http://laist.com/2011/01/25/over_100_galleries_museums_art_la_s.php?gallery0Pic=1#gallery http://www.facebook.com/LAArtOpeningParty?v=photos http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Los-Angeles-Art-Show/88821141035?v=photos Additionally, if you've ever been to a museum most allow photos WITHOUT flash.

*3.5 stars* It's always nice to see such culture in L.A. I love art and didn't realize there were so many art galleries in the So. Cal area. Whatever the type of art you're into, they had it. I appreciated how many different styles that were displayed. There really was something there for everyone. There were demonstrations and sculptures. In one area, they even had jewelry, silver goods and Chanel purses for sale. I thought that to be a little odd, but ok. I do wish that the event had been better organized. There was no rhyme or reason to the sections. One of the live demonstrations was right next to an artists' display space. It would have been nice if they had the art work categorized by style. Abstract, impressionist, etc. I think by organizing it better, it would have made for a more educational experience. The food served there was definitely quality. Short braised ribs, baked fish with capers, a full fruit spread, etc. I thought that $30 per person for the food was a bit much, however. Especially since DTLA and all the culinary goodness it has to offer was right at our feet. Also, I don't know how it works with the artists and the L.A. Art Show, but it would be nice if they had some less expensive pieces there. $5-10k for a piece, albeit beautiful and worth every dime, just isn't feasible for everybody. Maybe next year can we get some artists selling their pieces starting at, let's say, $1,500-3,000? read more

Downtown LA on Sunday was a wind tunnel! Brrrrr!!!! We were totally leaning forward into the wind while walking from the parking lot to the convention center. Our parking, you see, was far away, since the lots were already full by 2pm. Humph! Once inside, there was so much to see! We spent hours trying to experience every exhibit, but that gets hard when something interesting catches your eye and leads you away from the "planned" route. I think we saw 99%, at least, however. It was a really fun afternoon. There were many pieces that I would have loved to buy, but I don't have that much expendable income! At least, not for something to hang on my wall. Maybe for something to put on my finger or around my neck...haha. There was a jewelry section, but I know myself, so I steered clear of that as if my life depended on it! All the way to the right, there was a lady in this box. People were mobbing it, so it was hard to see. The way she was moving, and the lighting inside, made it look like she was buoyant and in water. She was a little scary and discomfiting, and the music reminded me of a fright maze at Knott's Scary Farm or something like that. Still, it was interesting, and I'd like to come back next year. read more

We came to check out the art show today. Parking was crowded in the parking structure $25/car. We were impressed with the variety of art style and display. Constantly being drawn left and right to all of these amazing pieces that people beautifully create with care. Definitely a wonderful experience to share with friends and family. You pretty much get lost in this place and take in all the visual wonder of arts. They have many refreshment booths and seating areas for customers. We got our tickets through travelzoo website for $18/person. Overall we had a wonderful time. Definitely an eye opener experience. read more

This year, the LA Art Show takes place at the LA Convention Center from Jan 23 -27. I came here for my first time thanks to a Livingsocial deal for its $10 ticket deal. I love it so much!!! I was there for over 2 1/2 hours and I'm sure I still missed a few booths. There is just so much to see there. The art show is mainly composed of three themes: historic, modern and contemporary. For each gallery, there are always staffs standing there ready to answer your questions. The artists are even there for some of them to talk about their work. Every piece of art I looked at, I was just so impressed by the details and the creativity that were put into it. For the contemporary and modern side, there is also the chance to meet artists from all over the world. Some of my favorites are the Chinese portraits and the girl with the large necklace. I definitely want to come back again next year! Tips: -Ticket at the door is $20, but you can save a few bucks buying it online instead. -Parking costs a bit at the convention center. There are several private lots nearby which are $5 or under for all day parking during weekend. -Wear comfortable shoes since you will be doing a lot of walking -Bring a camera. Photography is allowed in the entire place. -You can buy food and drinks inside, but expect to wait in line and pay a bit more. read more

The LA Art show was a last minute thing. I bought my tickets online and saved a couple bucks off my entrance ticket. After we parked, we walked towards the convention center. There weren't any clear signs explaining to us where to go. We walked in on what was a cheerleading competition. So we walked around that and found a sign that said LA Art show. We passed security since we didn't have any bags. They scanned our tickets and stamped our hands. Once inside, there was a lot to look at. I felt like there wasn't enough time to really look at everything since we arrived at 4pm and it closed at 7pm. There was all kinds of art to look at and it was all amazing! The best part was that they even sold beer and wine throughout the convention center. A lot of the art was quite expensive and geared more towards the wealthy collectors. Overall it was a pretty good time with lots of different art to look at. read more

I wanted to attend but timing never worked out and then this year I got a last minute notice that it was the last day, so I drove to downtown and bought a ticket and walked in...boy did I walk and walk and walk to get in. Someone posted that the signage wasn't very good and you had to find it amongst the other event going on, I'd say that's very accurate. Coming out I was able to walk right outside and bypass all the walking, so as great time as I had, I was not amused at my discovery. Ok, for a first time participant of the show I LOVED IT!!! I loved all the different types of art and expression and colors and lighting and textures and it was really nice to learn the history behind the pieces and meet the artist. I never knew that books at the library are thrown away and couldn't be recycled, so this artist takes the books from all over and creates these beautiful pieces so the books aren't just trashed. I thought the display of Birkins bags was hilarious...I just laughed when I saw them and told the lady at the counter, "Oh so this is so you can say you've actually seen a Birkin bag huh", she didn't seemed amused but she seemed to get it lol lol lol As for the price of the ticket it was like $23 bucks which is super cheap to me considering it's LA and parking wasn't an issue, it's downtown LA, it is what it is and always will be. I'll definitely be going back for the 2020 show and I'm even considering trying to actually be an exhibitor...guess you could say I felt inspired! read more

This was a GREAT show!! I came here Sunday when they first opened and strolled around for a couple hours. There is some amazing art and it was great to meet some of the artists and agents to hear more about the pieces. It's easy to park at the convention sent (I believe parking was $15), but there are plenty of alternatives that are walking distance, as well. It was pretty easy to get in/out of the exhibit and they had a couple bar areas (woot woot!!), as well as, food options at the show. I definitely recommend checking it out the next time it's in town!! read more

A ridiculously expensive ticket given that most of the art is tacky and mediocre at best. They charge Frieze prices and have 90% street art fair level art. Totally not worth it. read more

What a cool experience this was I am glad I went. I have never done anything like this and to go and take it all in was such a nice change of pace. For $15.00 buck this was a great way to kill an afternoon. I recommend checking it out even if your not into this kind of thing. I got to see so many cool things. I got to see a Picasso in person and Andy Warhols that were $50,000+ super cool to see but man is art expensive. I will defiantly visit this when it comes back next year. Maybe one day I will be able to afford a nice canvas for my home, but for now I will stick with the posters. CHEERS!!! read more

Buy tickets through Groupon - 2 for $20, 1 day admission. They rent out a huge hall for this event, so although there's a lot of people, you won't feel like it's too crowded. The event was well organized, so it wasn't chaotic. It may seem overwhelming to find a route through the exhibits at first, but you eventually get a routine down. It's so large that you can spend half a day here. It was interesting to see the variety of art present, from contemporary to traditional. There were even artists there from all over the world! Park a few blocks away for cheaper! All in all, this is a fun event to go to if you have at least half a day to spare (I spent 4 hours here)! I'd definitely recommend to go at least once. read more

The entrance to get in is very disorganized which took like 25 minutes to get in and another line to buy tickets. the la art show seems to get crappier every year and please don't waste your money and just view the show through social media since it's all junk art now that cost more than your soul. It seems like this year exhibit we're all international galleries from China and Korea marketing those clienteles. I love going to art galleries and seeing art but this year everything was repetitive from each booth and non affordable. Pretty disappointed on this year show and it took me like 2 hrs to go through all of it. Save 30 bucks and buy yourself a nice art piece at la art walk read more

4.5 star 2013 is my first time to see the LA Art Show. I came through free VIP Passes for 2 sent by the show. (Am not sure how/who they bought names from.) The show is at the LA Convention Center in the South Hall. Parking is easy and will cost $12 to park in the Convention Center Garage. The 2013 LA Art Show presents a global range of featuring exhibitors who appreciate the past, embrace the present and forecast the future. The LA Art Show has 4 distinct sections: Modern & Contemporary, Historic & Traditional, Vintage Posters, and the IFPDA Los Angeles Fine Print Fair, showcasing the many galleries from around the US and around the world. We saw ever thing from original Picasso's and Renoir's to famous Chinese artists I was not familiar with. I read somewhere there are 6000 pieces exhibited---it felt like more than that, or else I saw everyone. I'll admit to being a bit worn due to the amount of art and the cold, concrete floors of the convention center. Many artists were actually in attendance and there's an interactive section teaching styles.
