FAQs

Are there any COVID-19 protocols when attending the show?

Effective April 1, 2022, the revised LADPH Health Officers Order aligns with the California Public Health Beyond the Blueprint guidance in lifting the requirement for vaccination verification or proof of negative test at indoor mega events. The LA Art Show continues to follow all health and county requirements and/or recommendations, as part of our uncompromising efforts to organize an in-person show that is safe for exhibitors and visitors alike.

Masks are now optional at the LA Convention Center regardless of vaccination status. As a personal choice, guests are always welcome to wear a mask.
