A heads-up for artists and galleries: the March 16 submission deadline for the 2nd annual echo Art Fair is approaching fast.
The fair takes place July 7 and 8, 2012 at The Larkin Center of Commerce, 701 Seneca Street, in Buffalo, NY.
Last year’s echo Art Fair, a one-day event, was held at Buffalo’s historic Central Terminal, and drew over 3,000 people. Forty artists and galleries were selected from an international pool of applicants to display their art for exhibition and sale.
The fair is a juried fine art exposition connecting experienced collectors and first-time buyers with established and emerging local, regional and international artists in a centralized, creative environment. echo showcases a broad array of fine-art disciplines, including painting, photography, sculpture, prints, works on paper, video and mixed-media.
Submission guidelines and additional details regarding the event are available here.
The jury lineup for 2012 is impressive; artists who wish to have their work seen by this panel should submit asap. Participating in the selection process for this year’s fair are: Charles Clough, artist; Sean Donaher, executive director/curator, CEPA Gallery; Sandra Firmin, curator, UB Art Galleries; Grant Holcomb, director, Memorial Art Gallery, Rochester; Kate Koperski, director, Castellani Art Museum, Niagara Falls; and Heather Pesanti, curator, Albright-Knox Art Gallery.
