The Affordable Art Fair NYC Opens This Week

Posted on May 5, 2010 by Chip Montague |

The Affordable Art Fair (AFF) opens this week with over 75 galleries from five continents exhibiting original painting, sculpture, photography, and works on paper at 7W New York (7 West 34th Street) in New York City from May 6 – 9, 2010. Appealing to established collectors and first time art buyers, the ninth annual AAF NYC features contemporary art priced from $100 – $10,000.

Washington Glass School artists Michael Janis, Tim Tate and Erwin Timmers, along with next door studio and superstar ceramic artist Novie Trump will be represented by Mayer Fine Art Gallery .

In 1999, Will Ramsay founded the Affordable Art Fair (AAF) in London. His aim was to make contemporary art accessible to everyone, and to show you don’t need to be an art expert or a millionaire to enjoy and buy art. Ten years later, AAF has become a global event with fairs taking place in Amsterdam, Paris, Brussels, New York and Singapore. More than 650,000 people have visited Affordable Art Fairs around the world, purchasing over $160 million worth of art.

Art Basel Miami Opens

Posted on December 3, 2009 by Michael Janis |

One of the major US art events is taking place this week – Art Basel Miami. The eight-year-old opened today, bigger than ever, and accessorized by a robust bunch of rival fairs (including Red Dot Miami), fashion parties, book signings, benefits, and, yes, Sly Stallone is showing his fine art paintings. Too much.

Over at the Red Dot Fair, artists from the Washington Glass School are showing at the Mayer Fine Art Gallery.

Tim Tate reports from the fair that sales on the VIP preview and first day is encouraging for artists – Tim has sold a major mixed media work – his blown and cast glass / video work “A Question of Evolution”

Fingers crossed the week finishes as strong as it started! (And that they bring back some of the sales mojo!)

This December, the entire art world turns its focus to Miami. Anchored by Art Basel Miami (the sister event of Switzerland’s Art Basel, one of the most prestigious art shows worldwide for the past 40 years), there is a convergence of art, celebrities, sunshine and over-the-topness, creating a cultural and social highlight for the Americas. The success and prestige of Art Basel Miami has created satellite art shows, including Art Miami and Red Dot Art Fair – all located near or adjacent to each other.The simultaneous art fairs create a combination of an international selection of top galleries with special exhibitions, parties and crossover events featuring music, film, architecture and design. Tourists, art collectors, curators and art lovers come from around the globe to attend this annual art frenzy.

Artists from the Washington Glass School will be showing at this year’s art explosion that is Art Basel Miami.
