With exhibitions, lectures, seminars, and one of the finest photo auctions in town, MOPLA has become a new reason to hang in LA for the month of April.
And sure it’s the 22nd, but there is a ton of events going on still and the crescendo starts tomorrow night with a sneak peak at Fresh Fair, a mini gallery showing, with some previews of the upcoming photo auction.
