              oin Sarah Douglas, Editor-in-Chief of ARTnews & Art in America, for
              an insider’s look at Los Angeles art—from internationally acclaimed
              museums like the Getty Center and the Broad to private collections
       and lesser-known galleries. See the studios, galleries, and private homes
       where art is created and stored while learning about the nuances that help
       collectors decide how to appraise and insure their collections. Examine the
       life cycle of contemporary masterpieces, with a behind-the-scenes visit to
       a fabrication studio and guided tours of the institutions that house these
       works. ARTnews invites you to meet with art historians, artists, curators,
       and art professionals for walking tours, gallery talks, and exclusive
       after-hours visits to some of LA’s most beloved sites and hidden gems.

Highlights
•    Learn about efforts to preserve, empower, and elevate
     minority voices in the LA art scene, including the Getty
     Center’s collaboration with the City of Los Angeles to
     preserve Black historical sites throughout the city.
•    Explore the vibrant Los Angeles Arts District alongside
     an art historian and meet with local artists.
•    Enjoy an after-hours tour and reception at The Broad,
     a private contemporary art museum, and learn about
     the challenges in establishing the first new major art
     museum in Los Angeles in almost 20 years.
•    Join a local artist to tour a fabrication studio
     responsible for constructing large-scale installations,
     including Robert Therrian’s oversized table and dishes,
     on display at The Broad.
•    Meet with an insurance broker to examine the
     considerations collectors face when insuring and
     appraising art, including a volatile economy
     and—particularly in Los Angeles—natural
     disasters (like earthquakes, landslides, and fires).
