TORRANCE, CA – Torrance Art Museum (TAM) is pleased to announce the second installment of TRYST, an international alternative art fair for artist-run spaces and initiatives, and NOMAD III, a non-commercial pop-up exhibition featuring Southern California artists.
TRYST Alternative Art Fair
Produced by TAM and supported by the City of Torrance, TRYST is the world’s largest international art fair dedicated to artist-run spaces and collectives. This platform offers global exposure and fosters artistic exchange. Over the course of a week, participants exhibit their artists, share ideas, and explore Southern California’s art scene. They will be exhibiting a variety of works, including painting, sculpture, photography, video art, installation, and more.
TRYST addresses the need for opportunities that support artistic exchange among grassroots organizations worldwide. It introduces international artists to Los Angeles, a leading center for contemporary art. By connecting artists with the city’s vibrant arts scene and with each other, TRYST provides extensive networking opportunities, including talks, performances, and social events.
The second edition of TRYST joins a global network of alternative, non-commercial art fairs such as Juxtapose (Denmark), Platforms (Greece), QiPO (Mexico), and Supermarket (Sweden). This fair stands out by offering free applications, participation, and hotel accommodations for visiting collectives, celebrating independent artistic practices and collaboration.
NOMAD Returns for its Third Year
TAM’s innovative contemporary art pop-up, NOMAD, is back for its third year, celebrating the diverse and dynamic talents of Southern California artists. This non-commercial exhibition will showcase over 150 artists from Southern California and beyond, featuring a wide range of mediums including sculpture, painting, installation, and more. NOMAD III serves as a giant artistic gathering, allowing artists to present their recent works, connect with peers, and explore future opportunities. It’s a chance for creators to engage with both fellow artists and the public, fostering an environment of creativity and collaboration.
These events will once again take place at Del Amo Crossing in the heart of the South Bay region of Los Angeles located at 21535 Hawthorne Blvd, Torrance, CA 90503. Both events are FREE to attend.
