Calling All Artists! Montclair Art Museum Holding Its First Affordable Art Fair

Calling all artists! The Montclair Art Museum is organizing its first affordable art fair in conjunction with Living for Art: The Dorothy and Herbert Vogel Collection. The museum is now accepting applications for artists who would like to sell their works at the show on Sunday, October 24.

Artists will need to offer their works between the range of $50 and $500 to promote affordable collecting. We would like to be able to offer visitors a wide range of the work of artists mostly in the form of painting, sculpture, decorative arts, or photography. 

The Vogel exhibition runs from September 24, 2010 to January 2, 2011 and will feature 50 gifts of minimal and conceptual art the museum recently received as part of the National Gallery of Art's Fifty Works for Fifty States initiative, for which MAM was the sole New Jersey state recipient. With the assistance of the National Gallery of Art, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, lifelong collectors Dorothy and Herbert Vogel launched a national gifts program distributing 2,500 works from the Vogels' collection of contemporary art throughout the nation, with 50 works going to a selected art institution in each of the 50 states.

Any artists who might be interested in participating in the affordable art fair are asked to download and complete an application. Go here for the application.
