“LA Artland: 2026 Edition” will guide students through an exploration of the always changing landscape of the Los Angeles art scene. Open to all artists, this class will focus on what it means to be an art-maker in such an enormous art market. Unlike other major art cities, the center of LA's "art scene" is always moving geographically. In addition to Los Angeles’s well established commercial art galleries we will explore both artists’ studios and exhibitions off the greater art path; Pop-up galleries, artist run spaces and non-profits. These excursions will focus on Los Angeles based artists and the inner workings of their studio practice. We will additionally visit the Museum of Contemporary Art, La County Museum of art and The Jurassic Museum of Technology. The course, with the exception of our initial introductory meetings and planning sessions, will take place during Spring Break March 23 -29, daily 9am-7pm, two night stay in LA. Students will be responsible for all accommodations, travel to and from LA and during the trip. The field trip to LA is required for the successful completion of the class.Fine Arts Seminars are intended to broaden and clarify students' perspective on contemporary art practice. Each semester these seminars shift in focus and subject matter. Seminars may concentrate on art from the perspectives of art history, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and so forth, or may take the form of a discipline-based critique focusing on the history, theory, and practice of painting, sculpture, and photography, among others.
