FELIX LA Announces Extended VIP Hours & Programming Schedule

Felix LA - the new contemporary art fair taking the fair format back to its organic, experimental roots - is pleased to present a series of performances, film screenings, and talks during Felix LA, this February 14-17. Felix LA's VIP Preview will be held from 2-6PM on Thursday, February 14th. The fair's public opening will immediately follow, commencing at 6PM.

Programming and events will take place throughout the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Programming includes a hip-hop performance featuring BennY Revival, nolanberollin, BBY Kodie, and Lil Altima Riven, with sounds by Paul T. (Sarcastic); a double-feature film screening of Brian De Palma films Blow Out and Dressed to Kill; and a performance presented by legendary downtown LA music space Zebulon, featuring Ghanaian musician SK KaKraba, Paz Lenchantin of the Pixies, harpist Shelley Burgon, and singer-songwriter Jessica Tonder.

The inaugural edition of the fair will showcase over 40 forward-thinking exhibitors from across the globe within the private suites and bungalows of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. With Felix LA, founders Dean Valentine and brothers Al Morán and Mills Morán wanted to create an intimate art fair experience that prioritizes connoisseurship, collaboration, and community, modeled after the Chateau Marmont fair of the mid-90s.

Felix LA has also commissioned a series of special projects, which will be on view during the duration of the fair. Special projects include: an experiential film, "Reifying Desire 3" by artist Jacolby Satterwhite; Kristen Morgin's ceramics of Jennifer Aniston's Used Book Sale; Parker Ito's 11-ft tall paintings of major Hollywood landmarks; potions, spells, and astrological readings by L and Astral Oracles; The 13th Floor, an exhibition presented by The French Professional Committee of Art Galleries and curated by Andrew Berardini, featuring more than 15 French artists; and more.
