Art Los Angeles Contemporary is aligned with the citywide Los Angeles Arts Month, a collaboration between dozens of local arts organizations, arts and civic leaders, artists, philanthropists, and committed public and private partners. LA Arts Month aims to connect Los Angeles’ diverse communities to the arts, while showcasing its vibrancy to both national and international visitors.

For over a decade, Fleming has produced some of the country’s most noted contemporary art shows. Under his direction, ART LA (2006 – 2009) gained notoriety on the international art fair circuit as having a strong community background that championed the bustling Los Angeles contemporary art scene. In addition to ART LA, Fleming also served as director of photo MIAMI (2006 – 2008). Shortly after graduating from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Fleming began his career as a cultural events and art show developer.
