At SeFijaOnline we want to include more art stories and events this year and what best way to start with, is the Los Angeles Art Show of 2020. It takes place February 5-9, at the LA Convention Center South Hall. Below is information about some of this year’s exhibit that we are looking forward to.
DIVERSEartLA
For 2020, Marisa Caichiolo’s curatorial focus for DIVERSEartLA will be expanded to embrace and celebrate those art institutions and art collectors who support LA’s blossoming art community.
DIVERSEartLA is dedicated to bringing together some of the most important local and international art institutions, museums and non-profit organizations for an elevated and thoughtful dialogue.
The communities of Los Angeles reflect an impressive variety of ethnic backgrounds, and it’s iconic natural environs are equally varied and vast. To honor this unique biodiversity we are focusing on the representation of contemporary artists from around the world as a part of each institution.

As we approach the 2020 US presidential election, I believe the importance of this year’s curatorial focus should remain committed to fostering and learning about the organizations supporting inclusion and diversity.
DIVERSEartLA will be expanded to embrace and celebrate those art institutions and art collectors who support LA’s newest and largest iteration of art community, as well as to create a strong conversation around a variety of events and programs. Thus serving as a platform and resource for diversity best practices and leadership, including ALL of Los Angeles’s communities.
This year, we are thrilled to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the LA Art Show with a magnificent event that will reflect LA’s expansive natural habitats and cultural diversity, as well as DIVERSEartLA as an essential part of making museums and cultural institutions models for pluralistic communities. There is nothing more important than inclusion in a moment where U.S. political and social culture is defined by division.
