Last week, it was announced that Philly is getting its own fine art fair! For its inaugural year, the Philadelphia Fine Art Fair (PFAF) will set up shop in the historic 23rd Street City Troop Armory and host a roster of exciting exhibitors who are presenting significant works of modern and contemporary art. PFAF has made it its goal to support and further the artistic goals of the cultural community of Philadelphia. Taking place on April 4-7, 2019 at The 23rd Street City Troop Armory (22 S 23rd St, Philadelphia), PFAF brings 34 international galleries, featuring 300 established artists. The armory was originally built to house the men who helped keep the city safe, which will beautifully complement the work being featured by PFAF’s international roster of exhibitors and provide a unique environment for fair patrons to enjoy.
“Galleries were carefully selected to showcase the best examples of each genre and kind of artist. Though international in scope, we do also provide an emphasis on local artists. Fairgoers will be able to view and acquire works by a refined selection of emerging, mid-career and blue chip contemporary artists,” says Fair Director Rick Friedman. “Best of all, there are ‘must have’ treasures for every budget. Wearing my collector hat, I can’t wait to have a shot at these gems.”
The fair will kick off with a VIP preview on April 4th. You can purchase your tickets here. In the meantime, check out the exhibitor list below.
