The LA Art Show marks its 31st year, returning once again to the downtown Los Angeles Convention Center from January 7 to 11. Over 90 exhibitors are slated to participate, including Oliver Sears Gallery, the fair’s first participant from Ireland, Tel Aviv’s Corridor Contemporary, with a solo booth devoted to renowned Israeli artist Yigal Ozeri, and Palm Beach’s Provident Fine Art with a solo exhibition of actor, writer, producer, and artist Sylvester Stallone’s paintings. Stallone has been painting since his teens, and often uses the creative outlet to help develop characters for his writing and acting.

The 2026 show continues its usual strong representation of Korean art dealers and artists, with a dozen participating Korean galleries. Seoul’s MEK Gallery features optical artworks by Hye Sung Park, while J&J Art, based in Los Angeles, is presenting works by the Korean artist Jinny Suh. “Through traditional Hanji paper and vibrant color, Suh’s nature-inspired works offer emotional depth and an immersive experience that celebrate Korean culture through a modern lens,” the press release says.

This year also sees the inauguration of a new ‘Latin American Pavilion’, a curated section showcasing artists and galleries from Latin America, organized by Marisa Caichiolo. Artier Fine Art Gallery, Building Bridges Art Exchange, and Verse Gallery are among the dozen participants.

“At a moment when immigration issues continue to impact Latin American communities disproportionately, it is especially important to provide a platform for these artists,” states Caichiolo about the new section. “Their perspectives are vital to a complete and equitable understanding of contemporary art, yet they remain underrepresented at major fairs.”
