’ART FOR YOU’ Hanoi – Affordable Art Fair in Hanoi
03 – 07 Dec 2015
Manzi Art Space
From Manzi:
‘Art For You’, the affordable art fair event organised by Manzi Art Space and Work Room Four are back in Hanoi this December at manzi art space, 14 Phan Huy Ích.
The premise is simple and essentially follows the trend of affordable art fairs that have gained global appeal over recent years. It’s an art exhibition that is geared towards selling work at prices the majority can afford, removing the sometimes elitist nature of more traditional Art Gallery sales and create an event that is enjoyable, exciting and inviting for those looking to pick up a bargain or just get some inspiration and discover new artists and their work.
With three previous events under their belt in Hanoi and Saigon, Manzi Art Space and Work Room Four combine their respective artist portfolios to offer work created by over 90 artists sharing in excess of 300 works of art. The work is selected and curated to fit certain criteria. These are not the over-sized showstopper canvases or the prohibitively expensive sculptures of the solo show domain. Artists are specifically requested to peruse their repertoire and select older unsold works, preparatory sketches and smaller prints or photography or sometimes even create new work that they feel is good value for under $900.
When asked what the purpose of the event is and why they decided to begin the event, the
collaborators have a single voice: “‘Art For You’ offers a place to find something you love, something
that enriches your home. A work of ART that keeps you feeling alive and thoughtful everyday. Buy it.
Hang it. Cherish and share it. It is a good thing to do… for you, for the artist and for those you love.”
“From the last 3 ‘Art For You’ affordable art fairs, we have had immense pleasure in giving more than $40,000 to artists. That’s nearly 1 billion VND from Art lovers to the Art makers. We are a bit proud of that,” said the organisers.
Free entrance.
