ARTEXPO LAS VEGAS OFFERS ORIGINAL, HIGH-END ART
AT LAS VEGAS MARKET
Redwood Media Group, the nation’s leader in exhibitions and event production, media, and marketing for the global fine art community, announces its highly anticipated debut during this year’s Las Vegas Market, taking place Jan. 28–31 in Pavilion 2 on the World Market Center campus in the heart of downtown Las Vegas. Artexpo Las Vegas represents an unprecedented opportunity for industry tastemakers from all corners of the art and design worlds to connect with world-class artists, respected galleries, and international art publishers.
The exhibition space within Pavilion 2 at Las Vegas Market is the ultimate destination for industry influencers from all spheres of art and design to source original paintings, prints, photography, sculpture, mixed media and glasswork exhibited by some of today’s elite artists, galleries, and emerging talents. Las Vegas Market attracts tens of thousands of buyers from 50 states and 76 countries.
“We look forward to producing a world-class fine art show during Las Vegas Market,” says Eric Smith, president of Redwood Media Group. “Designed specifically for those who source art to build their businesses—the only event of its kind
on North America’s west coast—Artexpo Las Vegas is an unprecedented opportunity for us to connect well-established artists, gallery owners, and publishers with a rapidly growing base of interior designers, architects, hospitality executives, and upscale retailers, a majority of whom don’t attend markets in the East yet have millions of dollars in buying power.”
Artexpo Las Vegas presents [MAGNETISM] as the curatorial theme for 2018: The extraordinary power of contemporary artists to allure trendsetting buyers and industry tastemakers in the most electric city in the Western United States. This theme forms a common thread throughout the special exhibits and programming that showcases exhibitors, art industry professionals, and select nonprofits and institutions. Specially curated programming includes the Spotlight Artist and Gallery Program, a focused look at several cutting-edge artists and galleries chosen by the Redwood Media Group selection committee; Meet the Artist events and live demonstrations; and Topics & Trends, cutting-edge seminars and high-quality professional development programming that offer expert perspectives on today’s most pressing industry challenges and the trends changing the way business is done—from matters of internet marketing and increasing competition to digital’s growing role in the marketplace.
