TeravarnaTERAVARNA proudly carries its legacy into the 4th year at the LA Art Show, continuing an electrifying journey of art showcases.
TERAVARNA has once more opened its doors to accept applications for a juried exhibition at the LA Art Show. This is an incredible opportunity and an unparalleled international art experience with over 120 galleries, museums, and non-profit arts organizations from around the world exhibiting painting, sculpture, works on paper, installation, photography, design, video, and performance. This show is the largest and longest-running art show in LA, and all works presented by galleries are available for purchase by high-end collectors.
Los Angeles has emerged as a global epicenter of art & culture, with a distinct, interwoven multi-cultural influence unique to the city. Diversity is our strength and art is most impactful when it includes or transcends all borders. As LA rises as the world-class destination for art, the LA Art Show continues to lead the way with innovative programming and one-of-a-kind experiences for an expanding collecting audience.
Selected artists get to showcase their work for free, with no strings attached.
Theme
Calling all artists! The LA Art Show Juried Art Competition by TERAVARNA is open for submissions. Showcase your boldest visions—realism, abstraction, or surreal dreamscapes—on an ‘OPEN’ theme with no creative limits. Winning works will shine at the prestigious LA Convention Center in Los Angeles, one of the world’s leading art stages. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this global celebration of creativity.
Awards & Prizes
Participation at the January 2026 LA Art Show is 100% free for invited participating artists, and after jury selection, there are no hidden costs associated with displaying artworks at the exhibition.
Please note that only winning artists from our juried open call will be invited to present their artworks at the show. Artists will need to sign a contract, and in the event of any sales, TERAVARNA will charge a standard commission rate.
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. Artists will enjoy exposure from a highly publicized event and promoted extensively in local news outlets, media channels, and press events.
All winning artists will be provided Certificates of Recognition.
