News — American Artists

This past weekend not only was a busy art fair weekend in Los Angeles but also on the East Coast.  In NYC the 23rd edition of the Outsider Art Fair was happening at Center 548 in Chelsea. The Outsider Art Fair is a yearly platform for hundreds of international artists and galleries to come together and celebrate the unorthodox of the art world. The Outsider Art Fair highlights marginalized, unique, artists who are unprecedented in the contemporary art realm. These artists are self taught or otherwise represent a minority of creatives that would rarely be seen at a conventional fair.

As Art Fair...

After surpassing last year's predicted attendance by more than 10,000 people, this year's Printed Matter's LA is going to be quite the event. Opening the same night as Art Los Angeles Contemporary, the Printed Matter’s LA Art Book Fair will bring together artists’ books, art catalogs, monographs, periodicals, and zines from all over the world presented by various publishers and booksellers. This event is truly a unique experience to be a part of the merging of literature, art, and publishing.
