This year the event kicks off with a benefit gala with special host Moby on Thursday.  Ticket are available at: http://www.lacma.org/event/photola or at the box office.

The 21st annual event celebrates photography from all around the world and provides easy access to participating dealers and galleries.  The event brings a plethora of photography for seasoned collectors as well as the newbies.  The four-day programming is rich with educational content that will surely fulfill any questions of photography answered by a range of professionals.  It’s a great way to gallery hop in an extremely convenient manner and, from my experience, a great avenue to discover new and up-and-coming artists.

The stunning photograph featured above is photographer Quentin Shih’s “The Stranger In The Glass Box” and will be on exhibit at the event.
