Tonight the Los Angeles Arts Show kicks off and runs through Saturday at the spacious downtown Convention Center.
More than one hundred of the top Galleries (and a posse of artists) on the West Coast are participating in the in 16-year-old art extravaganza!
Locals and out-of-towners alike are invited to get up-close-and-personal with an eclectic mix of fine paintings, sculpture - you name it - in a broad spectrum of styles and mediums inclined to appeal to the artistic sensibilities of most!
In addition to the thought-provoking visual displays, guest speakers will discuss hold discussions on a wide range of topics - from trends in architecture to feminist art.
Noted cartoonist Robert Williams (an underground artist who was part of the Zap Collective in the late 1960s) will lead one of the informative dialogues in a much-anticipated Q & A session over the weekend.
Tonight's preview boasts a mouth-watering dinner (for a pricey $125) that will benefit the Art of Elysium (a Getty-approved foundation that seeks to enlighten hospitalized children about art appreciation).
The daily entrance fee to the annual event is $20.
