Fountain Art Fair welcomes returning exhibitor The
Marketplace to its upcoming New York edition, this March 9 – 11 at the
69th Regiment Armory on Lexington Ave and 25th st.
The Marketplace, located
in Albany, New York, supports a diverse set of artists, from painters
to fashion designers to illustrators to grimy street artists, aiming to
inspire the artists and the collectors purely for the sake of the art.
The Marketplace director Samson Contompasis is the ultimate champion for street art. A notorious mover-and-shaker, Samson is always looking to expand the street art dialogue, and strives to find new ways to make public art accessible to a broader audience. He has curated exhibitions with notable artists such as crochet-queen Olek, Chris Stain, Shark Toof, Chor Boogie, Overunder and more. Samson is a central figure to the tight knit art community of Albany. He recently curated Living Walls Albany, an ambitious public mural project, and is planning on moving The Marketplace to a new Albany venue, where an ever changing exterior mural will give passers by a taste of the art inside.
So what can we expect from The Marketplace Gallery’s booth at the upcoming Fountain Art Fair New York? According to Samson, we can expect something “Awesome… in quotations.” So be sure to stop by Fountain Art Fair to see what surprises The Marketplace has in store. You can purchase discounted tickets online at www.fountainartfair.eventbrite.com.
