For a little creative inspiration in the coming New Year check out Art Los Angeles Contemporary, an international contemporary art fair held January 28-31, 2010 at the iconic Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood. 

The fair presents 50 top international blue chip and emerging galleries from around the world, with a strong focus on Los Angeles galleries. Participants showcase some of the most dynamic recent works from their roster of represented artists, offering an informed cross section of what is happening now in contemporary art making. The fair provides a sophisticated yet accessible environment for art collectors, curators, and patrons of the arts alike to enjoy. In addition, the fair hosts a comprehensive programming series, including world class artist talks, panel discussions and an artist film screening series all on site at the Pacific Design Center.

Art Los Angeles Contemporary is aligned with the citywide Los Angeles Arts Month, a collaboration between dozens of local arts organizations, arts and civic leaders, artists, philanthropists, and committed public and private partners, so be sure to be on the lookout for other events of this type next month.  Feel free to post information here.  LA Arts Month aims to connect Los Angeles’ diverse communities to the arts, while showcasing its vibrancy to both national and international visitors.
