The Los Angeles Art Show

If you are in the Los Angeles area be sure to stop by the Los Angeles Art Show. This four-day cultural affair began January 21st and concludes the 25th.

In addition to the art, there are a number of events that speak to the contemporary art connoisseur, collector, as well as those that would simply like to learn more about the arts. Although all of the events appear to be fascinating, I am particularly interested in Art As An Alternative Asset: Issues & Solutions. This panel discussion will address the current state of the art market and provide valuable advice to individuals that would like to begin collecting art. Needless to say, the spiraling economy has taken a toll on pretty much every industry, including the arts. In recent news, MOCA (The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles) has been in dire need of funding, and had to be bailed out by Los Angeles art collector Eli Broad. I am curious to see if the panel will discuss the state of cultural institutions and speculate the fate of the art market.

Most of the Los Angeles Art Show events are free of charge, but admission to The Art of Fashion at the Los Angeles Art Show, one of the premier events, will require you to RSVP with rsvpla@modernluxury.com. In the past, the show was held in Santa Monica at Barker Hanger, but the recent relocation to the Los Angles Convention Center, located in Downtown L.A. is sure to draw a sizable crowd. I suggest you attend the show with friends, and hey while your Downtown why not make it a night and check out The Edison…
