Use the official dates and venue
The fair runs from Thursday 25 to Sunday 28 February 2027 at Santa Monica Airport. Check the organiser’s page again before travel for current entry and transport details.
Separate invitation and public periods
Thursday is invitation only. On Friday, the opening period is invitation only before public admission begins, so every guest’s credential and arrival time should be recorded.
Prepare gallery priorities
Build a short list by artist, gallery, institutional brief or partnership objective. Request appointments with enough context for the gallery to prepare relevant material.
Plan the wider Los Angeles week
Museum, gallery and private events can be geographically dispersed. Confirm each host and invitation, group movements by area and protect realistic travel time.
Brief guests for useful follow-up
Record key people, works discussed, agreed introductions and next actions. Acquisition due diligence belongs in a separate specialist process.
How Access supports Frieze Los Angeles
