stARTup Art Fair
Call for
Artists - Deadline: February 15th, 2015
The art world is changing, and many working artists are finding
themselves without a space to present their work. The core mission of stARTup Art Fair
is to provide an exhibition venue for unrepresented artists -- artists
who may have recently lost their gallery/galleries, or artists who have
never had representation.
Co-Founders Ray Beldner and Steve Zavattero believe in the viability of
San Francisco and the Bay Area as an important visual art center.
stARTup Art Fair provides a new avenue for the creative longevity of
the visual artist, providing a marketplace that gives the artist the
power to present and sell work -- and keep 100% of their sales proceeds
-- on their own terms.
The Bay Area has a history of attracting creative, visionary,
self-starting artists, designers, and entrepreneurs, and stARTup Art
Fair celebrates the spirit of this region with its investment in
emerging and under-recognized artists. stARTup Art Fair will be a
destination where creatives of all stripes can converge to see new,
inspiring art in the California spirit of discovery. The fair will
provide the chance for the next generation of art collectors to get in
on the ground floor of a type of artist "start-up," where collectors
can acquire great works of art and make real connections with artists
in an intimate setting.
With our venerable Selection Committee made up of a diverse range of
art world professionals, stARTup Art Fair San Francisco aims to
generate the dynamism and excitement of 50 vetted, solo exhibitions for
one glorious and stimulating 3-day weekend.
Artists
The core mission of stARTup Art Fair is to
present an independent venue for unrepresented artists to exhibit
original works in an art fair setting. Most importantly, a main
principle of our philosophy is participating artists keep 100% of the
proceeds from their own sales, as well as any new client relationships
established during the course of the fair.
We expect each participating artist, in the spirit of the fair’s
mission, to maintain an egalitarian, level playing field. By submitting
an application, you attest that the body of work you propose to exhibit
is not currently represented by any art gallery, agency, or art
consultancy, commercial or otherwise. We reserve the right to reject
your application should it be discovered you have misrepresented
yourself in this regard.
