LA Art Show

Los Angeles’ longest running art fair, the LA Art Show, kicks off its 26th year this weekend at the LA Convention Center downtown. Technology is a major focus of this year’s event, with many galleries taking up digital themes. Vellum LA will be presenting a selection of NFTs (non-fungible tokens) by women and non-binary artists, marking the first in-person art fair to exhibit NFT artworks. The Peru-based San Marcos Museum of Art will feature an artist exploring ideas of Andean techno de-colonial shamanism. Other projects focus on machine intelligence and media art produced during the pandemic.
