Photo L.A. Madness

The Photo L.A. art fair has been in existence for over twenty years, with 2014's January show being it's 23rd year. Co-producers Claudia James Bartlett and Wayne Fernandez took the reigns of Photo L.A.'s management last year. This prestigious fair has done a wonderful job in growing the appreciation and collection of photography in the L.A. area, and beyond. This year, held in the L.A. Mart (think Merchandise Mart), the 60,000 square foot exhibition hall will provide a temporary home for exhibitors and a creative hive for collectors to share, impress, and admire for three days.

We were invited to exhibit at Photo L.A. this coming January and we are beyond excited and certainly anxious. So do forgive us for being absent on DEFINEART as of late. We are working as frantically as Santa's elves to get arrangements in order for our art fair debut. Between printing Darryll's notoriously enormous pieces, corresponding between framers, and making arrangements for shipping and travel, we are feeling a bit crazy! However, one of the thoughts that keeps driving us (besides potentially running into Brad and Angelina) is the warmth! Chicago winters make all this work seem so much more difficult so it so once we hit the L.A. sun, we will feel immediately rewarded.

I will be sure to give you all the details about our impression of the fair when we get back!
