art fairs
Painting sale events
Art fairs are large-scale events where galleries, dealers, and artists gather to exhibit and sell artwork.
They range from prestigious international gatherings like Art Basel to local community events featuring regional artists.
The commercial function distinguishes art fairs from museum exhibitions—visitors browse and buy rather than simply view.
We picked up a print at the art fair downtown.
