What is TRYST: TRYST is a new international art fair for artist-run-spaces and collectives as well as an international conference addressing the needs and future of global exchange for artist-run spaces, collectives, and organizations. A Torrance Art Museum (TAM) project, TRYST addresses the need for opportunities that foster artistic exchange between grass-roots artist organizations worldwide. This art fair will introduce international artists to Los Angeles, a leading center for contemporary art. Connecting artists to the art-savvy Los Angeles audience, the LA arts scene, and to one another allows unlimited networking opportunities in which artists can engage with other participants and develop further international exchanges. Talks and performances will be included in the program, as well as social events for participants. This will be the second edition of TRYST.
