The sixth edition of the fair returns to Santa Monica Airport from February 20-23, 2025 and will feature approximately 100 galleries, an expansive program of ambitious installations, collaborations with nonprofit organizations, and pop-ups from some of Los Angeles' most beloved restaurants.  

The Galleries section welcomes ambitious proposals from galleries representing international artists and showing a regular program of exhibitions.

The Focus section will be curated by Essence Harden (co-curator Made in L.A 2025) for the second year. Focus is dedicated to solo presentations by galleries with a space in the US, formed in or after 2013. This section benefits from a subsidized rate.
