Affordable Art Fair Austin Announces Participating Galleries
The Affordable Art Fair has announced local, national, and international galleries participating in its upcoming inaugural Austin-based event.
Earlier this year, the fair, which hosts events in 11 cities across the world, announced that it will debut its inaugural Austin edition this spring. More than 60 galleries will be displaying thousands of artworks by emerging and established living artists. The prices of works will range from $100 to $10,000.
Austin-based Big Medium is partnering with the Affordable Art Fair to present an exhibition on-site at the fair highlighting artists with Texas connections. In a press release announcing the partnership, Cori Teague, Director of the Affordable Art Fair Austin, said, “This partnership will help continue pushing Affordable Art Fair’s mission of transforming what the contemporary art market looks like and the communities that the buyers of these works represent. We’re committed to creating an inclusive and unifying environment, believing that art serves as a powerful common ground to bring diverse communities together.”

On the plane back from Miami, I add up expenses versus income from this year’s Untitled Art Fair. It is our third year here, and our first bust. As a small Midwestern gallery, two major art fairs a year — Untitled in Miami and the Outsider Art Fair in New York — can generate a quarter of our annual income. Even more importantly, they help us develop a national collector base for regional artists. There is no other way to survive.
It is expensive to participate in more selective and carefully curated international fairs, such as Untitled. Our three-walled, 14 x 14-foot space cost $17,400. Housing for the staff, transportation, food, and additional framing rounded out the total to about $30,000.
