The LA Art Show 2026 (www.laartshow.com), LA’s largest and longest-running fair, returns for its 31st edition with more than 90 exhibitors from around the world, led by director and producer Kassandra Voyagis. This year’s fair features international highlights including Ireland’s first participant, Dublin’s Oliver Sears Gallery and Palm Beach’s Provident Fine Art with a solo presentation of Sylvester Stallone’s abstract works.

Highlighting the dynamic intersection of music and contemporary art, this year’s fair will feature works by two notable British musicians: Paul Simonon of The Clash and Chris Rivers of Heaven’s Basement. 

Attending for the first time, Art of Contemporary Africa is presenting works from Dr Esther Mahlangu who is a globally acclaimed visual artist and much-loved cultural ambassador of the Ndebele nation. She was born in 1935 and has made a valuable contribution to contemporary art over 8 decades.

Exhibitions include the first public showing in over four decades of Karl A. Meyer’s 1980s woodcut prints at Switzerland’s LICHT FELD Gallery, and cinematic figurative works by Israeli artist Yigal Ozeri presented by Corridor Contemporary. A strong Korean presence continues, including J&J Art’s “Elegant Freedom” by Jinny Suh, whose Hanji-based works reinterpret Korean tradition through a contemporary lens.

The fair will debut its new Latin American Pavilion, curated by Marisa Caichiolo-who was recently selected to co-curate Chile’s pavilion at the 2026 Venice Biennale. Centered on themes of memory, migration and identity, the pavilion explores representation, provenance and the evolving trajectory of Latin American art. “At a moment when immigration issues continue to disproportionately impact Latin American communities, it is especially important to provide a platform for these artists,” says Caichiolo.

The fair’s signature non-commercial platform, DIVERSEartLA, curated by Marisa Caichiolo, returns with “The Biennials, Art Institutions and Museums in the Contemporary Art Ecosystem,” exploring how contemporary art evolves through global biennials and museums, and how the two complement and challenge one another. The platform highlights their shared role as engines of artistic innovation, public engagement, and cultural dialogue.
