Background
Los Angeles has emerged as a global epicenter of art & culture, with a distinct, interwoven multi-cultural influence unique to the city.

Selected artists get to showcase their work for free,
with no strings attached.

Held at the iconic Los Angeles Convention Center, the LA Art Show is one of the most prestigious art shows in the country. The city, by virtue of being the second largest city in the United States, boasts a thriving and prolific art market in the nation second only to New York.

All winning artists will be provided Certificates of Recognition.

LA Art Show + TERAVARNA + Artsy
Artsy, as VIP partners of both LA Art Show and TERAVARNA, will continue to highlight and promote the event long after the show officially ends. In 2023, 2024 and 2025 some of the most significant art sales for TERAVARNA coming through Artsy channel were executed in the days and weeks following the show. During the same period, the artists who TERAVARNA represented at the LA Art Show received the highest spikes in viewership as well as pre-sales inquiry from collectors over the entire year.

At the conclusion of the show, participating artists will have the choice to ship their unsold artworks to them or place them in our secured gallery storage facility for possible shows at future venues.
Fees
The entry fee for each artwork is $40 (non-refundable)
Although not required, it is strongly recommended that multiple artworks are submitted in order to provide a clear and cohesive understanding of the artist's portfolio in a physical art gallery setting. The jury will look at the entire body of work in a holistic manner. TERAVARNA hopes for long-term collaboration with artists.
Artwork painted on materials other than stretched canvas will need to be framed because they cannot be exhibited without a frame. Unfortunately, LA Art Show does not allow selling of any limited edition prints so all artworks submitted must be originals only.
Shipping and insurance of all artworks are the artist's responsibility. Detailed instructions will be provided to winners shortly after jury selection. All packing and labelling instructions will also be provided at the time. Please note that since we have limited wall space availability, we have the right to place restrictions on the dimensions of artworks that can be on display at this show.
Note that TERAVARNA doesn't promise entrant artists to win a prize in money or money's worth in any of its competitions. Only artists selected by an independent jury from a pool of applicants will be given the opportunity to showcase their artworks at the art show.
