ANNOUNCEMENT:
CollectLA regrets to announce the cancellation of our February 2013 show.

Unfortunately, we were unable to solicit the amount of applicants necessary for a successful show and therefore have decided not to move forward with the art fair. We are planning to reboot & rethink the show for 2014 and are excited about the possibilites.

We would like to thank all of our applicants, friends, & supporters for wanting to be a part of CollectLA and for believing in what we are trying to create. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and disappointment that this has caused. Know that we too are very disappointed but resolve to move onward and upward.

We still believe in our idea wholeheartedly and hope to give it another try at another time. If and when we do, you all will be the first to hear about it.

Thanks again for your support and for your interest in CollectLA and again we would like to express our sincerest apologies.

If you have questions, please feel free to contact us.
