The Affordable Art Fair

DC-based artist and blogger F. Lennox Campello has been posting some interesting updates lately about The Affordable Art Fair, where he has sold some of his own works (including one that was purchased by actress Lucy Liu - quite a coup for Campello!).

As its title suggests, this art fair - held in New York, Seattle and Los Angeles - is trying to break new ground.

As the New York website states:

"Shaking up the dusty model of art as an elite pastime, the Affordable Art Fair will showcase new artists, galleries, programming, and installations!  Don't miss a second!"

Based on the title of this fair, perhaps some of the art on view may be affordable to the "99 percent" of Americans who do not have quite as much money in the bank as Donald Trump or Warren Buffet.
