ART FAIRS
2009 National and International Art Fairs
If you are interested in collecting art, art fairs are an excellent place to begin your art education.
In a short period of time, you can see a wide range of works. While some fairs focus on a specific
type of artwork, like photography, prints, or contemporary art, others present a broader range.
Usually only the top galleries and dealers can afford the high cost of participating in art fairs. In addition,
art fair organizers are selective as to whom they invite and allow to participate, so you can expect
to see quality artwork presented by reputable art dealers at these art fairs.
If possible, attend art fair opening night previews. This is where you'll find the best selection and have the first opportunity
to purchase artwork before the fair opens to the general public. Opening nights are frequently gala events, supporting one or more
nonprofit art organizations. They're usually very enjoyable, you can buy art, socialize with the art community, and have a good time.
