Frieze Los Angeles

Change is afoot at Frieze Los Angeles, which is returning to Santa Monica Airport from February 29 to March 3, 2024. The fifth edition of the fair sees a notable new curator of the Focus section, Essence Harden, reimagined communal public spaces and a wealth of fresh galleries. Tickets are available now.

Frieze Los Angeles is once again directed by Christine Messineo, Frieze’s Director of Americas, and housed in its signature tent designed by Kulapat Yantrasast’s architectural studio WHY. The 2024 edition sees a new site plan across the airport campus that reimagines the outdoor space as a gathering point – what Mark Thomann (Director, Wilding X WHY) calls ‘a welcoming sanctuary centered on food, culture, and community’ – with installations and pop-ups from some renowned LA restaurants. The fair will again feature a program of site-specific artworks, public activations and sculpture across the Santa Monica Airport airfield.

The 2024 fair brings together more than 95 galleries from 21 countries, with nearly 50 percent of them operating in the Greater Los Angeles area; 13 of them will be showing at Frieze Los Angeles for the first time.
