Let’s Face it, The Art Fair market is heavily saturated. In such a competitive art market, a new art fair needs to bring something new to the table, something fresh, with the proper prices for such volatile market and unpredictable climate. When it comes to art fairs, it is always Manhattan as a main destination since the borough of Brooklyn has never had exciting and enticing art fairs to make you cross the bridge for. Not since the 1-54 Art Fair (which happened for a few years at Pioneer Works) and Photoville, there isn’t enough motivation to cross that bridge.

Collectors and fair visitors like me tend to be jaded (I mean how many art fairs we see in whole year?), but I must say I was very impressed, delighted and excited to attend and witness the opening of The Powerhouse Arts Brooklyn Fine Print Art Fair last night.

From the minute I boarded the R train to the Union Street Stop, I knew something good was in place. My subway car was pretty full of Jaded Manhattanites heading over - it is at times hard for people to leave Manhattan during rush hour to trek to Brooklyn. A nice short walk from the R subway to Union Station stop and you arrive to witness the magnificence of The Powerhouse Arts building (formerly the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Power Station).

I walked into a great reception with non stop crudités & cocktails served till the very end of the evening. The facilities are so vast that the fair only needed one third floor space to accommodate it all. The great thing of this fair is that was divided in two areas. One for the print art dealers and businesses gallery booths, the other for independent and individual artists hosting, hustling and selling their art creations.

So, let’s get to the ART!
