Introducing the Latin American Pavilion
A key highlight of the 2026 LA Art Show is the debut of the Latin American pavilion. Curated by Marisa Caichiolo, this pavilion will explore themes of memory, migration, and identity. It aims to reshape the presentation and appreciation of Latin American art at major art fairs.
Caichiolo emphasized the pavilion’s significance amid ongoing immigration challenges faced by Latin American communities. “Providing a platform for these artists is especially important,” she stated.
The forthcoming LA Art Show is poised to be not only a premier art event but also a celebration of creative expression. With its focus on diversity and inclusion, it sets the stage for an exciting year in the art world.
