Citi is a proud sponsor of the 2022 LA Art Show and host of the LA Art Show Gallerist Talks Presented by Citi. The Gallerist Talks were launched as a platform to support a variety of international gallerists and provide global access to new audiences, art lovers, and collectors.
The Citi space on the LA Art Show Floor will exhibit a curated collection of artworks from three featured galleries, extending their physical presence to provide collectors and attendees with new perspectives on the art.
The gallerists and selected artists will discuss a number of current topics including finding and nurturing emerging talents, being and succeeding in today’s art world, and the creative process in art throughout generations. They will also discuss how artists inform the global conversation about the environment and a myriad of important topics through their artwork in this interactive format.
We invite you to engage in a visual and verbally active experience during these live conversations at the Citi space on the LA Art Show Floor, or visit us here to watch the replays of each compelling gallerist interview.
