The World’s Top Emerging Galleries Convene for 8th annual NADA Art Fair
Innovative Fair Returns to Miami Beach with New Initiatives and Expanded Programs
December 2, 2010- December 5, 2010
The New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) is pleased to announce the 8th edition of the NADA Art Fair on December 2nd through December 5th at the Deauville Beach Resort (6701 Collins Ave) in its expansive Napoleon and Richelieu Ballrooms. The NADA Art Fair is recognized as the preeminent fair featuring the world’s most significant emerging art galleries from over 28 cities. The fair celebrates new and innovative contemporary art from rising talents around the globe.
This year, NADA is pleased to announce a new initiative – NADA Projects – developed to augment the fair’s gallery presentations with innovative and idiosyncratic projects. These economically sized booths will allow pioneering young galleries and non-profits to participate in the dynamic dialogue that takes place in Miami over this week in December.
In collaboration with ICI (Independent Curators International), NADA will also present, Let’s Talk, a series of curator-led tours that will place international curators in direct contact with the public. These tours will allow the curators to offer their unique perspectives as well as insider views into the artists and their works. Tour leaders include Kate Fowle (Director, Independent Curators International), Jens Hoffmann (Director, CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts), Ruba Katrib (Associate Curator, MoCA North Miami), René Morales (Associate Curator, Miami Art Museum), João Ribas (Curator, MIT List Visual Arts Center), and Franklin Sirmans (Chief Curator of Contemporary Art, LACMA). More information can be found on the ICI website: www.ici-exhibitions.org
