Emerge: Art Fair
Sat, Dec 8 and Sun, Dec 9 | 11 am – 4 pm | Long Beach Museum of Art
The Long Beach Museum of Art welcomes emerging art collectors and young art patrons to EMERGE, a unique art fair that features the work of 7 emerging to mid-career artists based in Southern California. Showcasing a diverse range of media, including paintings, works on paper, and sculptures, EMERGE provides an intimate art platform for discovering, exploring and acquiring work from the creators themselves.
Hand selected by the Museum, this year’s EMERGE introduces artists Karla Camacho, Joel Michalski of Joel Thomas Design Works, Jaye Russell, and Judson Studios to the Long Beach community, alongside familiar faces: Sharif Farrag, LBMA’s Artist in Residence this past summer; San Diego-based artist, Spenser Little, who was featured in the third iteration of VITALITY & VERVE III at LBMA; and Narsiso Martinez, whose compelling story of endurance and intricate art making can be experienced in FARM FRESH, the artists’s first institutional solo-exhibition currently on view at LBMA. Within their allotted sections, each participating artist will transform their space with a curated selection of their own creations, shedding light in to their studio practices. The variation of art making explored by these artists provides a thought-provoking platform for dialogue and visitor experience of learning to collect, or finding new work to add to an existing collection.
For tickets and further information, please visit Eventbrite or contact Director of Education and Visitor Services, Lisa Marsh at (562) 439-2119 ext. 255.
