Last Week to Apply: Superfine! Art Fair | Los Angeles 2019

Superfine! LA will be hosted February 14-17 at DTLA's familiar Magic Box convention center.

About 20% of visitors make a significant purchase of at least $500, and 90% of past exhibitors report selling to almost exclusively new clients outside of their existing collector network. There are still a small handful of gallery and solo artist booths up for grabs. $40 + Exhibition Fee ($2,700-3,600 for artists, $3,600-$7,200 for galleries). Deadline: January 25, 2019. More info.
