On February 27 in Los Angeles, the fifth edition of Spring/Break Art Show sparks vibrant exploration and introspection within Culver City’s Arts District by way of more than 60 presentations on display through March 3. “INT./EXT.” is the cinematic theme underpinning this year’s fair, provoking curators, artists, and visitors to embark on a scenic journey from the pastoral to the metropolitan, and from the privately spiritual to the vast metaphysical. A vivacious lineup of programming, including experiential performances, debut installations, and multi-disciplinary works give center stage to today’s cutting-edge visionaries.

Continuing its virtuous mission of providing free exhibition space for emerging and mid-career creatives, the Los Angeles and New York City-based show is steered by discerning curators. For the third year in a row, Spring/Break dazzles at the avant-garde 1940’s warehouse space. During this edition, actress and musician Vicky Krieps, known for her work in films Phantom Thread (2017) and Corsage (2022), unveils musical recordings and performance within a multifaceted installation alongside painter Stephanos Rokos, musician Mark Perkins, and photographer Anna Krieps.

LA-based writer and curator Michael Slenske offers “The Street and The Shop,” a lively meshing of the art and design disciplines with works by Spencer Falls, Max Roeg, and Emily Marchand. The fair now features an “Artist Spotlight” platform (first launched in New York this past September), curated by Spring/Break’s founders Ambre Kelly and Andrew Gori, and will bring the mesmeric imaginations of Kay Seohyung Lee, Nathaniel Meye, and Cate Pasquerelli to the trailblazing fifth edition.
