EXPERIENCE PAC LA
PAC LA for Everyone
Art Fair Month in Los Angeles!
February showcases LA’s place at the epicenter of the arts, as the city hosts multiple notable art fairs, along with special exhibitions at local galleries, film screenings, and other remarkable events throughout the month. PAC LA is highlighting the following as particularly interesting for those interested in photographic and lens-based arts.
Felix Art Fair
Felix is an art fair created with the intention to foster intimate experiences that prioritize conversation, collaboration, and community.
Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel - Feb 19-23
Frieze Los Angeles
Frieze Los Angeles largely focuses on contemporary art and celebrates the exceptionally dynamic culture of Los Angeles and its global contributions to the visual arts.
Santa Monica Airport - Feb 20-23
Post-Fair
Post-Fair is the pilot edition of an alternative three-day art fair. Low cost to the galleries and the visitor, it seeks to simplify the art fair experience by focusing on solo presentations in an iconic venue with a relatively low impact, open plan format.
Santa Monica Post Office - Feb 20-22
William Kentridge Collection Screening
Join Eastman Museum Los Angeles for a special screening of William Kentridge’s complete ‘Drawings for Projection’ . Comprising eleven short films made from 1989 to 2020, the collection is a touchstone of Kentridge’s prolific career. Usually projected in museums’ black-box rooms, this magnum opus—animated by his drawings on paper in charcoal and colored pencil and distinctive use of erasure—is even more powerful on the big screen. This event is FREE and open to the public.
Aero Theater - Feb 21 at 1, 4 and 7:30 PM | RSVP Here
© Chiron Duong, treasure 2004
Join PAC LA and Rose Gallery for the opening of The Language of Form, a presentation of works by Chiron Duong, Karl Blossfeldt, Manfred Müller, and Rinko Kawauchi. This exhibition examines the roles that stillness and movement play in artistic endeavors.
Rose Gallery has always been a great supporter of PAC LA and deeply believes in the work we do to engage and educate about Photography and Lens-Based Art here in Los Angeles and beyond. In an enormous act of generosity the gallery has decided to donate a significant portion of the proceeds from this exhibition to PAC LA. As a non-profit, we are tremendously grateful for this kindness and acknowledgement of our work within the photography community.
Opening Reception - Feb 22 | 2-5 PM | Show runs through March 29
Public Event Highlight: Photo Forward
In 2023, PAC LA organized and hosted Photo Forward, a brand new, 100% free Photography Fair at Bergamont Station in Santa Monica. Over the course of a weekend, thousands of visitors experienced the excitement of discovering new work, meeting notable gallerists, and learning from PAC LA presenters on topics ranging from the creation of photo books to starting a photo collection.
