ART
THE AFFORDABLE
ART FAIR
AAF, Fall, NYC, October 2012
The third editon of a FALL Affordable Art Fair, New York City, successfully concluded earlier this month with visitor attendance topping 9,500 and artwork sales topping $1.6 million. This stand alone art fair, is unique because it's offerings are in the more reasonable price ranges, starting at $500 and going no higher than $10,000. This exhibition was an opportunity to view and purchase original, contemporary painting, sculpture and photography offered by local, national and international galleries. It was located at "The Tunnel" in West Chelsea, NYC in the heart of the Arts District, which seemed to increase the turn-out and sales momentum. The FALL Affordable Art Fair New York City was held over a four day period, had 60+ galleries participating and showcased the work of living artists, only.
