We are pleased to announce that the application for the 2009 edition of ART LA, The New Los Angeles International Contemporary Art Fair, is now available. The deadline to submit materials is August 26, 2008.

The fair relocates for the 2009 edition to the historic Barker Hangar at the Santa Monica Airport. The Barker Hangar is known as one of Southern California's premier charity and arts events venues and is now home to the premier international contemporary art fair of the West Coast. In 2008, ART LA hosted top international and US based galleries from Los Angeles, New York, Berlin, Tokyo, London, Auckland, and beyond. The new expansive venue allows the fair to increase the number of participants to approximately 75 galleries; ten more than last January's event.

ART LA 2009 will be an intimate and accessible event, presenting a focused and progressive roster of the most compelling contemporary art galleries operating today. The exhibitors will be a balance of established blue chip and emerging galleries with a strong concentration of Los Angeles participants.

Together, with our local support network of museum partners, collectors, artists, and press, ART LA will program a series of special exhibits, performances, conversations, and collection tours. Our partners will aid us in spotlighting L.A.'s thriving contemporary arts landscape and will continue to support our position as one of the major annual cultural events taking place in greater Los Angeles.

Galleries from all over the world are invited to apply to ART LA. Please contact our offices with any questions about the application process.
