Photola is a perfect place to expand or start a photography collection. Here you will see a distinct variety of work from galleries worldwide, from photographers you adore and ones ready to be discovered and adored. This event has a long tradition as this year marks it’s 20th. The sheer number of exhibitors makes for quite the full day, evening or weekend of viewing pleasure. Along with all the exhibitors, there is a rich itinerary of programming that includes panel discussions with established curators, collecting seminars and book signings with many prominent players. Within artLA, the programming includes a child-friendly lounge to get your kiddos in love with art and collection early in life.

I’m particularly excited for an event on Friday from 6 to 8 pm with photographer Tasya van Ree and Jessica Lange. That’s right, the actress is also a photographer.

Peruse the website to see the full schedule of fine programming.
