Art & Craft Fairs: Better than Finger-Painting Your Walls

AS SEEN ON SCOUTSIDER.COM

If you have no art in your apartment and your creative side has atrophied into a twiggy extremity, here are two therapies to get you going down the right path:

The Affordable Art Fair, June 15th – 18th
&
The Renegade Craft Fair, June 17th & 18th

The fine folks at GenArt alert me: The Affordable Art Fair is the place for new and established collectors to discover and buy paintings, drawings, sculptures, video, photography and limited edition prints from distinguished galleries, all priced from $100 - $5000. This year the Fair will host more than 70 galleries with approximately a quarter of the exhibitors from Europe, Canada and South America.

The Fair will take place at The Metropolitan Pavilion, 125 West 18th Street (btwn. 6th and 7th avenues), but for more info, visit: http://www.aafnyc.com/

Also, I have a good friend coming in town this weekend for the Renegade Art Fair, which will take place in Brooklyn on the 17th & 18th. The fair will feature over 150 vendors, from D.I.Y. (do it yourself)peeps to more established folks like Venus, the totally gnarly womens 'zine about music, art, film, fashion, and D.I.Y. culture that my friend Emily works for. So, for more information about this fair, check out: http://www.renegadecraft.com/index.php

And make sure you get to one of these... that twigginess must go!
