Javits Convention Center from Feb. 26 to March 1, lured a record number of artists, dealers, publishers and art enthusiasts from around the world. More than 500 exhibitors of paintings, sculpture, photography and animation displayed their work for more than 44,000 trade and consumer attendees. World-renowned graffiti artists, TATS CRU, and electronics-inspired artists, ArtBots, were front and center at the entrance to the Javits center. TATS CRU's artists performed live graffiti-painting demonstrations, while ArtBots gave many attendees their first experience with the emerging art form of robotic art. To reflect International Artexpo's commitment to the future of the artistic community in New York, the show sponsored a charity art sale to benefit ART START. The New York-based arts education charity works with underserved and at-risk youth, many of whom participated in the event by speaking with exhibitors and attendees about their ART START experiences. Featuring donated exhibitor works, including several from celebrity artists such as Jane Seymour and Rosie O'Donnell, the art sale generated funding to support ART START's annual Art in the Shelters program. On the show floor, attendees had the chance to view a never-before-seen Picasso exhibit, and numerous artist demonstrations provided a lively backdrop for attendees to browse and buy artwork. [SOLO]: Independent Artists Pavilion debuted at the show, enabling up-and-coming artists not represented by publishers to showcase their work in front of publishers, dealers and collectors. Featured artwork ranged from original paintings and sculptures to photography. Artexpo University's seminar programs featured experts leading informative, one-hour courses. Popular topics included marketing, interior design, legal issues and photography. Attendees commented on the timeliness and applicability of the topics, in addition to the strong credibility of the speakers. Members of graffiti art company TATS CRU drew crowds, not cops, when they demonstrated their craft at the Javits. All Images and Articles are Copyright of the Publisher View Publisher's Link
