Art Los Angeles Contemporary, the International Contemporary Art Fair of the West Coast, returns for its seventh edition on January 28 to 31, 2016, at The Barker Hangar, Santa Monica, California. ALAC anchors Los Angeles’s pivotal weekend in the contemporary art calendar.
The fair brings together over 70 established and emerging galleries, and a roster of independent publishers, hailing from over ten countries. The list of exhibitors includes a cross-section of Los Angeles galleries, reflecting the fair’s long-term presence in its home city.
“This is a proud moment for ALAC as we enter our seventh year,” says Tim Fleming, Director. “Seven years of presenting the best, most influential galleries from Los Angeles, and seven years of supporting a community of artists, collectors, dealers, and institutions that is fierce, intellectually rigorous, and constantly changing and expanding. As the fair grows to be more international and varied in scope, supporting Los Angeles remains at our core.”
