The trend of Art fairs has been a major contribution to the economy of Contemporary artists, galleries and dealers. It is important to not only maintain a holistic knowledge of the art world but also to make contact with it directly. Art fairs can act as the local and international communication platform informing the industry of trends and significant changes. It is for this reason one must maintain a shortlist of Fairs, ones that are of local relevance for access and ones that are of particular resonance on an international scale. Here are some suggestions.
