Returning to L.A. for the first time in six years, Startup Art Fair is part-expo, part-conference, supplementing a diverse spread of California art with workshops aimed at helping artists, and their enthusiasts, navigate the ever-changing art market. <\/p>\n
The hybrid structure stems from fair founder Ray Beldner\u2019s longtime mission to better equip artists with the business education necessary to sustain their careers. This is still a critical need, he said, even though social media has gone a long way toward democratizing art-buying. At Startup Art Fair, independent artist exhibitors represent their own work and receive 100% of any sales they make. Beldner said the model is more sustainable for artists and creates the \u201ccasual, high-touch experience young collectors are looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThey don\u2019t want to be competing to buy art, get put on a list,\u201d he said. \u201cThey like something, they want to acquire it.\u201d <\/p>\n
With 70 paying exhibitors spanning 65 rooms, there\u2019s plenty of gems for visitors to find, Beldner said. <\/p>\n
One artist to look out for is Kristine Schomaker, whose workshop on body image will complement her collaborative portrait project, \u201cPerceive Me,\u201d in which she poses nude for other artists. Visitors will also be able to sign up to do the same, \u201cso they can see what that experience is like but also how people perceive them, because often we\u2019re much harder on ourselves than other people are about what we look like,\u201d Beldner said.<\/p>\n
Beldner said this year\u2019s edition also mirrors the art world\u2019s \u201creal trend towards craft\u201d with exhibitors working in textiles, quilts and other fabric arts. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
