The Holiday Market was a seasonal virtual event that took place from November 27 - December 20, 2020. A coterie of art dealers, independent curators and design studios offered orginal works, editions and objects up to $5000.
The new platform aimed to introduce novice and seasoned art clients to discover artworks within a range of accessible price points.
Over the course of 3 weeks, exhibitors shared personal reflections on 2020 through editorial bi-weekly newsletters and hosted virtual gatherings through Instagram Live and Zoom.
The Holiday Market welcomed over 12k unique visitors and acquisitions were made globally.
“This holiday event… includes selections by 36 art dealers at transparent and more accessible price points — a harbinger, perhaps, of the equity that might define all future fairs, not just this one.” - The New York Times
