Turning the Santa Monica Aiport into an expansive contemporary art celebration, Frieze Los Angeles 2025 will take place from Feb. 20 to 23. The multi-day art fair will bring together more than 95 international and local galleries. Among the wide range of solo and curated stands, there will be many honoring the spirit of L.A. and highlighting our city’s artists. In particular, English gallery Victoria Miro will have a space for galleries participating in the fair to come together and raise funds for fire relief efforts by donating works to be sold in aid of the LA Arts Community Fire Relief Fund. Other programming highlights include Focus, a section curated by Essence Harden that will feature 12 emerging galleries; “Only in Darkness,” a city-wide project by Coco Fusco that explores race, gender and colonialism; the Black Trustee Alliance x Frieze Los Angeles – Land Memories initiative, which showcases the legacy of Atladena’s Black community and Art Production Fund’s public program, which invites Angelenos to visit works placed throughout the park for free. Tickets are available on the Frieze website.
