By using unconventional exhibition spaces, the fair challenges traditional expectations and brings contemporary art into a more personal, human-scale environment. Its mission is to support emerging talent, broaden audiences for contemporary art, and reinforce Los Angeles as a global center for artistic innovation.

Launched in 2019, Felix quickly became one of Los Angeles’ most distinctive art fairs. Created as an alternative to booth-heavy formats, the fair sought to revive the spirit of earlier, more intimate art events. Its hotel-based model echoes legendary fairs of the past while reinterpreting them for a contemporary audience.
Over the years, Felix developed a reputation for discovery, originality, and an atmosphere that attracts both major collectors and newcomers. It has since become a permanent and influential part of Los Angeles’ art ecosystem.
