An Art Fair in Brooklyn

Verge, the folks who organize satellite fairs for emerging artists in places like Miami Beach, are starting what they say is the first-ever Brooklyn art fair. Called Art Brooklyn, it will be timed to coincide with the Armory Show and will take place in multiple locations throughout the DUMBO neighborhood March 3-6. The aim of the fair is to promote Brooklyn as a cultural hub that will attract artists and collectors from around the world.

As a way of luring young artists and galleries, prices for space at the fair are particularly cheap. A 200-square-foot exhibition space, for example, will only cost $1,950, and artists’ project spaces are inexpensive too, costing those who are accepted a fee of $500 for 100 square feet of space at 111 Front Street.

There will also be a juried exhibition, and there is an open call for artists practicing in every medium. (And Verge is not limiting it to just Brooklyn artists.) Finalists selected from a panel of arts professionals will be given space to show one work from their application at a special section of the fair.

Art Brooklyn is now accepting applications from dealers and artists. Information is available on its Web site, brooklynartfair.com.
