Last weekend, the West Coast’s longest running photography art fair Photo L.A.celebrated its 27th edition – and like a fine wine, it is getting better with age. This year, Photo L.A. flexed its muscles in a new, expansive home at the historic Barker Hangar at the Santa Monica Airport.
There was a palpable sense of excited energy as guests explored the redesigned layout of the fair at the opening night celebration benefiting Venice Arts, a nonprofit that transforms the lives of low-income youth through arts education. The Hangar had plenty of room for the who’s who of the LA art world to rub elbows and celebrate honoree Jo Ann Callis, the provocateur known for her dramatically and sensually staged photographs, repped in LA by ROSEGALLERY.
