LA’s Felix Art Fair, Dover Street Market Tap David Hammons, KAWS, Sterling Ruby, Lauren Halsey, and More for Collaborative Projects
Ahead of the opening of its 2024 edition next week, the Felix Art Fair in Los Angeles has announced a partnership with Dover Street Market, the retailer cofounded by Comme des Garçon’s Rei Kawakubo, that will see a selection of art-and-fashion collaborations sold at the fair.
The partnership will see closely watched artists partner with top fashion brands, including Oscar Tuazon with Comme des Garçons and Felix, KAWS with Sky High Farm Workwear and Nike, David Hammons with Denim Tears, Sterling Ruby with Vans, and the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts with Brain Dead. There will also be a collaboration between Levi’s and OTTO 958, a project by London-based fashion designer Kiko Kostadinov and LA art dealer Al Morán, who is also a cofounder of Felix.
Three passionate Lancaster based freelance artists, Hannah Corbett, Lidia Ranns, and Julie Evans, are uniting their creative forces to transform the city into a vibrant hub of artistic expression with the expanded Lancaster Art Fair (LAF), running from August 19th to 23rd, 2025.
This year, LAF is evolving into a larger, city wide festival, thanks to their dedicated collaboration and partnerships with established local arts organisations.

On the plane back from Miami, I add up expenses versus income from this year’s Untitled Art Fair. It is our third year here, and our first bust. As a small Midwestern gallery, two major art fairs a year — Untitled in Miami and the Outsider Art Fair in New York — can generate a quarter of our annual income. Even more importantly, they help us develop a national collector base for regional artists. There is no other way to survive.
It is expensive to participate in more selective and carefully curated international fairs, such as Untitled. Our three-walled, 14 x 14-foot space cost $17,400. Housing for the staff, transportation, food, and additional framing rounded out the total to about $30,000.
