(New York, NY) – On September 9, 2015, Affordable Art Fair NYC steps into its 20th edition, expecting to attract over 19,000 visitors with more than 70 local, national and international galleries. Located in one of New York’s most popular entertainment venues and nestled in the heart of Chelsea, the Fair is once again the vehicle that drives a relaxed, creative and engaging atmosphere for galleries to showcase the work of their most coveted artists.
At each edition, Affordable Art Fair offers a fresh and evolving selection of art, priced from $100 to $10,000 (with more than half the works priced under $5,000). Now in its 14th year in New York, the fall fair aims to provide not only a diverse selection of contemporary art, but also a schedule of complimentary talks, programs, and educational workshops to create a well-‐rounded experience.
Of the 72 galleries exhibiting at the fall edition, seven are returning for their seventh year at the Affordable Art Fair: Quantum Contemporary Art (London, UK), Villa del Arte Galleries (Amsterdam, Netherlands/Barcelona, Spain), Envie D’Art Gallery (Paris, France), DECORAZONgallery (Dallas, TX/London, UK), Artêria (Bromont, Canada), New Grounds Gallery (Albuquerque, NM), and Emmanuel Fremin Gallery (New York, NY), which often exhibits the work of musicians-‐turned-‐artists such as Julian Lennon (son of Beatle, John Lennon) and Moby.
Newcomers such as Taseer Art Gallery (Lahore, Pakistan), DEMEDICIS GALLERY (Paris, France), and Maria Goldena (Riga, Latvia) will infuse the Fair with a new energy and perspective. Manifold Editions (London, UK) brings work by Anish Kapoor and Damien Hirst, while Sugarlift (Brooklyn, NY) features up-‐and-‐coming artists such as Lizzie Gill, artist creating the exclusive 2015 Affordable Art Fair Limited Edition Print.
“Affordable Art Fair NYC’s participating galleries bring all types of artists and art to the Fair, from emerging and famous, to photography, sculpture and traditional oil paintings, all at varying price points,” says Cristina Salmastrelli, Director of the Affordable Art Fair NYC. “This alone carries out our brand mission, truly making art available to everyone. Most of our galleries believe in this same basic principle, which is why it’s such an all-‐encompassing experience.”
NEW Fall Programs:
The fair is dedicated to incorporating educational programming into each of the four and a half days to make for a dynamic experience. The fair welcomes Kristina Nazarevskaia, co-‐founder of galleryIntell as she leads a panel of art industry experts discussing the history of art appropriation. In addition, a panel discussion led by ProjectArt founder, Adarsh Alphons, will illustrate the integral importance of childhood art education and the impact it has on didactic development.
Other Fall Highlights:
Affordable Art Fair NYC expands its Personal Shopping Experience to a year-‐round service; Boy Kong, this edition’s Young Talent Exhibition Artist, transforms the entrance of the Fair with his tiger mural and all children are invited to “draw outside the lines” during our family-‐friendly programming (please inquire for further details on all of the above).
