Exhibitors at the fair have focused on the middle market, with a significant portion of works priced between $10,000 and $50,000. The fair aims to challenge the traditional art canon by incorporating diverse perspectives and voices. Institutional interest has been high at the fair, with curators and collectors showing strong engagement. The event serves as a curated space for art enthusiasts to explore and acquire works that offer a unique perspective on art history.
