FIAC LA's inaugural edition delayed to 2016, citing need for preparation
The Los Angeles Convention Center will host the first FIAC LA art fair in early 2016, not March 2015 as originally planned. Reed Expositions, the fair's organizer, announced the postponement to ensure the event meets high standards expected by galleries and organizers alike. This decision follows reports from Artnet about the delay. Speculation had emerged that the fair might not have secured a sufficient number of exhibitors. The statement from Reed Expositions emphasized the need for additional preparation time. FIAC, traditionally based in Paris, is expanding to Los Angeles with this new edition. The announcement was made on November 11, 2014.
