TRYST is the world’s largest international art fair dedicated exclusively to artist-run spaces, collectives, and independent organizations. More than a conventional art fair, TRYST is a global gathering centered on international exchange among grassroots, artist-led initiatives.

Now in its fourth edition, TRYST has established itself as a powerful alternative to commercial art fairs—prioritizing collaboration, experimentation, and cultural dialogue over traditional art structures and market-driven models.

In response to the need for opportunities and artistic exchange among grassroots artist organizations worldwide, this fair aims to facilitate international artists’ exposure to new Los Angeles audiences, foster networking among participants, and encourage further international exchange.
