artLA, the original Los Angeles International Contemporary Art Fair, is pleased to announce its sixth edition. artLA will return to the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium January 20 – 23, 2011, under the management of New York’s SPACE I design + production.

“We are very excited to be working with SPACE,” says artLA Director Stephen Cohen. “They understand the need for an elegant presentation of art to collectors, curators and those passionate about the contemporary art scene and they know how to create the social setting conducive to the appreciation of the art fair experience. In addition, they bring a proven management style that has been highly effective and universally praised by exhibitors.”

“With photo l.a., and the LA Art Show, Los Angeles Arts Month looks to be the most dynamic to date, which speaks to the continuing energy and confidence in the art market,” comments artLA Director of Sales Peter Connick. “It is a testament to the vibrant Los Angeles art scene that we have reached the same place as New York and Miami where satellite fairs have taken root around artLA”
