In the eclectic tradition of the Western world's great galleries, these dual shows combine paintings, drawings, sculpture, and photography with objects that often begin life as craft, or sometimes basic eating and living utensils, such as pottery, tableware, furniture as well as jewelry and fashion.

2011 Artist Testimonials


"I'd have to say this NYC show is really off to a great start. The 2nd year was like a show from the good old days when it was worth the trip! The buyers were from all over, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I look forward to a 3rd year."
Valerie Bunnell | MA | Mixed Media


 

"The javits show worked out for me, i think it has a lot of potential, just keep the quality up and the show will take care of itself."
Woodrow Nash | OH | Sculpture



 

"The quality of the artists' work was even stronger this year, and once again I had multiple pieces sell. In addition, I had two gallery owners come through and offer me solo shows to exhibit my work in areas I would not have otherwise considered. This show remains one the best values for an independent artist to show work in NYC in an art fair setting."
Bob Clyatt | NY | Ceramics

 

"This show has a lot going for it. Great venue and easier load-in than anticipated, a profitable time of year, a hard-working promoter who knows how to get the job done, the price is right and the location - it's New York City!! Only two years in and the public is responding, a small crowd but one that is buying. Using my mailing list helped my sales. I believe that the crowd will grow and the show will flourish."
Loretta Lam | NY | Jewelry

 

"After having experienced a rather disappointing show with another promoter, in 2009, we were looking for a different New York City venue. I can’t speak highly enough about Richard and Joanna Rothbard, Allie and the rest of the AAM staff. They did a stellar job of seeing to our show needs, listened to our suggestions and actually acted on them. They did their homework and skillfully advertised to our Target Market. As a result the 2011 show was even better than the year before. The caliber of work was upscale, professional and reasonably priced. The turnout was impressive and what we heard from the clientele was overwhelmingly positive. Having show promoters who are artists really makes a huge difference in understanding exhibitor’s needs. They have experienced shows from our side of the fence - and know what we are looking for and need to make a show successful. Allowing us to hand carry our booth and supplies - shaved hours from our previous set up time. The provision of a “lockup” at night for a very reasonable fee – allowed us to have peace of mind about leaving our inventory on site.If you are serious about pursuing a NYC venue, the Javits Center is the place to be and American Art Marketing is the way to go!"
