Artexpo Los Angeles
Deljou Fine Art by Artexpo The 32nd annual International Artexpo is heading to L.A. Mart
 
Artexpo is the world's largest fine art trade show, providing dealers with access to thousands of innovative works from artists and publishers in one single venue. Over its 30-year history, Artexpo has hosted many of the world's most renowned artists, including Andy Warhol, Peter Max, Robert Rauschenberg, Robert Indiana and Leroy Neiman.

This fall, from October 1-3, Artexpo Los Angeles will dazzle downtown L.A. with a whirlwind weekend of exciting art events, unsurpassed industry seminars-and of course, thousands of innovative artworks from established and emerging artists from around the world. Artexpo Los Angeles will co-locate with the city's popular annual Furniture Sample Sale in downtown L.A. Mart, making this event a must-attend design and decor destination. 

 
So excited about this event are we that as part of its program, Artisan Direct, Ltd. is offering member artists the opportunity to exhibit with us. The price for an artist to exhibit at Artexpo LA with Artisan Direct will be far less than the cost to exhibit on your own, and AD will provide representation, support & promotional packages for all.
 
Each artist will have a wall approximately 10' high and 5' wide.
which will accommodate approximately 3 - 5 (depending on size) works of art to be shown. We will have portfolios for each artist on hand so that interested parties can see the range of an artist's work.

We are currently under a severe time restraint so we will need to know as quckly as possible whether you are interested. The charge for an Artisan Direct artist to exhibit their work at the show will be between $1500 and $1750 per artist depending on the placement of their work The terms will be 50% down now with the balance due by Sept 1st.

A full sales package is available to those who want more information. We have tentatively reserved a wonderful booth in front.

For more information on how you can participate in Artexpo LA with Artisan Direct, Ltd. email: jayson@artisandirectltd.net.

SF Fine Art Fair
For nearly a decade, the city by the Bay had been without a major Internationally-ranked fine art fair-until now. Avid collectors, art enthusiasts, galleries and the art press eagerly awaited the long overdue arrival of the San Francisco Fine Art Fair in May 2010, and the response was overwhelming! Over 3,000 VIPs crowded into our Opening Night Preview Party with more than 15,000 attendees flooding the fair during the course of the 3-day event. Attendance, sales, media attention and feedback exceeded expectations to mark this as the inaugural event for what will now be an Annual Happening.
If you missed this years Fair, you will want to reserve your spot as an exhibitor or an attendee same time next year!
 
 
So there you have it! My own dreams of creating a career, doing what I love, in a field I never tire of, and now travelling across the country to the best shows being produced representing artists, galleries and art businesses worldwide has finally evolved!
 
Let me know what I can do to help you realize your dreams!
 
 
Artfully yours,
