The spring Beverly Hills Art Show takes place this weekend, May 17 and 18 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Beverly Gardens Park. The show is sponsored by the city of Beverly Hills and its Community Services Department.
More than 200 artists will display their works along four blocks of the park from Rodeo Dive to Rexford Drive. The biannual event is held every May and October and draws thousands to Beverly Hills.
Artists will showcase their work in 10 categories including painting, sculpture, ceramics, glass, drawing, watercolor, traditional printmaking, photography and digital art, jewelry and more. In addition to the art, the event will include gourmet food trucks, a beer and wine garden and a Creative Zone.
Featured artists this year include Serhii Fomichov, from Ukraine, who creates small to large-scale sculptures using glass; Alex Paul, classically trained in Italy, who creates graphite drawings and first-time jewelry-maker Zhan Zhan.
The show’s newest partner, Los Angeles Printmaking Society (LAPS), a national nonprofit dedicated to the encouragement of printmaking and the artists who make prints, will feature four demonstrating artists at their booth in front of the Lily Pond in Beverly Gardens Park.
Additionally, Stacy Nalapraya, a Los Angeles-based chalk artist, will be demonstrating her work near the food trucks on Saturday.
Artists’ demonstrations will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. For a full schedule of demonstrations and Creative Zone activities, visit beverlyhills.org/artshow.
