In Collaboration with Media Partner Artnet
MvVO ART is proud to present the inaugural debut of the Accessible Art Fair New York, following ten successful years in Brussels. An expert jury has selected 60 rising-star artists, painters, sculptors and photographers from the rich and varied talent pool of New York and around the world. The work of these artists on the cusp of discovery are now on display -through Novemebr 25th, 2016-in one of New York City’s most enchanting venues — The National Arts Club-a historic limestone townhouse right on Gramercy Park.
Tickets available at Eventbrite or at www.accessibleartfairnewyork.
“The Accessible Art Fair New York is a departure from conventional art fairs. The objective is to bring talented emerging and mid-career artists — unknown and often unrepresented — in direct contact with art collectors, art world professionals, and the general public. It’s an opportunity for everyone to discover new talent and break down barriers between artists and collectors, all within a high-end and friendly environment”.
—Maria van Vlodrop, Founder, MvVO ART and Director & Co-Founder, Accessible Art Fair New York
