Los Angeles is one of the world’s most vibrant cultural hubs, and every February it becomes the epicenter of contemporary art. Alongside international events like Frieze LA, Felix, and LA Art Show, independent voices also get their spotlight — and that’s where StartUp Art Fair comes in. This unique platform invites artists to showcase their work directly to collectors, curators, and art lovers in a fresh and unpretentious way. For Singulart artists, it’s an exceptional opportunity to be part of LA’s biggest art week.
Since its inception, StartUp Art Fair has stood out for its original format and artist-centered mission. The 2026 edition will take place from February 27 to March 1 at the colorful Kinney Venice Beach Hotel, located near Santa Monica and Marina del Rey. Over 80 artists will transform the hotel’s rooms into personal galleries, each filled with contemporary art waiting to be discovered.
What makes StartUp different is its atmosphere: no booths, no barriers, no hierarchy — just a welcoming space where visitors can meet artists face-to-face, discover their practice, and purchase work directly.
Unlike traditional fairs, StartUp Art Fair is designed with the independent artist in mind. The hotel setting fosters intimacy and accessibility, making conversations natural and spontaneous. Visitors can wander from room to room, connect with artists, and experience contemporary art in an approachable, human way.
The fair also coincides with Los Angeles’ most important art events, meaning thousands of collectors, curators, and art professionals will already be in the city. For participating artists, this translates into unparalleled exposure at the heart of the international art scene.
