Humans are deeply creative beings, and our inherent creativity is called upon, and deftly employed, in hundreds of big and small ways each day.

Quite often, though, we need a fast infusion of inspiration, a path to wider ideas, and the chance to bask in the incredible inner worlds of talented makers, with all of the instant gifts such a communion often brings.

There are few better paths to connecting with the creative spirit than the one that takes place over several spirited days each winter at the Los Angeles Convention Center's West Hall.

It's the Los Angeles Art Show, a multi-day feast for the senses, and it is now welcoming art fans, exhibitors, artists, and everyone who wants to roam a remarkable realm of imagination.

A general admission ticket for a single day? It's $30, and you can find yours here.

Gallerist talks are among the highlights of the spacious spectacular, which features thousands of photographs, paintings, sculptures, textiles, and more on vibrant display.
