February has proven to be an incredibly eventful month for Fine Art Shippers so far. We have just returned to New York from Florida, where we were an official onsite shipper at The Palm Beach Show, and we are now getting ready for a new exciting event in our home city. Fine Art Shippers is happy to announce that we will be providing art packing and delivery services at the upcoming edition of the Outsider Art Fair (OAF). The biannual event will take place in the Metropolitan Pavilion at 125 W 18th Street from February 29 through March 3, 2024.
It is no secret that the art world can only be accessible to certain kinds of people. Thanks to OAF, specifically highlighting self-taught creatives, that narrative is shifting. This one-of-a-kind art show is actively pushing the boundaries of traditional art by providing a platform for artists who would be considered “outsiders” in a traditional exhibition setting.
This year’s OAF exhibitors list is incredibly diverse, from Indigenous artists from Australia to modern and contemporary Balinese painters to creatives from the Canadian Arctic. Among the highlights of the 2024 edition are “die-o-ramas” by Abigail Goldman, who is famous for her miniature murder scenes, and landscape assemblages by Dennis Gordon, a retired firefighter from New York. The event will consist of two parts: a presentation coinciding with the 50th anniversary of Creative Growth Art Center and an exhibition featuring works by the poets of the Beat Generation.
Events like the Outsider Art Fair prove that you do not have to receive formal education to create masterpieces and touch people’s hearts and minds with your art. Fine Art Shippers considers it a great honor to be part of such an important art show. We strongly believe that any piece of art has value and must be treated with equal respect.
