NEW YORK -- International Artexpo New York, the world's largest fine- and popular-art fair, announces its return to New York with a flesh look and new location in 2010. Following The Armory Show and The Architectural Digest Show, International Artexpo New York will be held March 25 to 28 at Pier 94, completing the convention center's month-long, critically acclaimed offering of exciting and influential art fairs in New York City.
Artexpo New York expects to host more than 600 innovative exhibiting artists, galleries and publishers from across the globe. These exhibitors will showcase exciting original artwork, prints, paintings, drawings, sculpture, photography, ceramics, giclees, lithographs and more, ranging from $100 to $100,000--all under one roof.
Artexpo New York remains the only trade show to offer industry professionals access to thousands of works at wholesale prices. The first two days of the show will be open to the trade only with the last two days open to the trade and general public alike. In its constant effort to seek ways to improve the show experience for its trade at tendees and exhibitors, Artexpo will introduce new initiatives and dramatically expand its services, tools and information to better serve artists and galleries. The 2010 International Artexpo Education Series will offer three days of seminars and conferences in two state-of-the-art theaters. These courses will offer expert perspectives on subjects ranging from art and the economy, small-business management and art marketing to social media for artists and more. A full schedule of programming will be released soon.
The popular SOLO show will also return with more than 250 of the world's top emerging, independent artists. A new addition to this year's SOLO show will be a SOLO jury composed of influencers and trendsetters from the design, fashion, art and culture worlds, who will critique and nominate SOLO's "Best in Show."
Artexpo's move to Pier 94 from its former home at the Jacob Javits Center was born out of a new business venture and new ownership of the Artexpo show property. Under the new company, Redwood Media Group, LLC, art-industry veteran Eric Smith and his partner, Robert Reeder, acquired the Artexpo trade show in July 2009 from Summit Business Media LLC. Smith was formerly vice president of the Art Group of Summit Business Media, and Reeder, a former executive at ArtSelect, has distinguished himself as a successful Internet enterprise pioneer in the art industry.
"We are eagerly looking forward to a fresh start in New York at Pier 94," Smith says. "2010 marks a new decade in the new millennium--a perfect time to breathe new life into this show. With my business partner, Robert Reeder, under our new company, Redwood Media Group, LLC, we're excited to offer innovative, quality work and a new show that will be better than ever. We plan on expanding our education series and will continue to form alliances with like-minded organizations that benefit artists and the industry. Artexpo 2010 is going to be amazing--a not to be missed event."
