Two Shows Under One Roof Jacob Javits Center Oct. 19•20•21  2012

"Seldom if ever is there a venue that combines both the exclusive world of New York art fairs and shows where fine artisans exhibit their crafts" - Richard Rothbard, American Art Marketing

Now, in metro NYC, an art show has emerged that embraces contemporary art and fine craft under one roof. The Contemporary Art Fair NYC provides a major showing to independent painters, photographers, sculptors or other artists doing non-functional work. The counterpart show, The American Craft Show NYC, features the work of fine artisans working with glass, ceramic, wood, and other materials.



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.

Artist Testimonials 2011


"I had a successful fair. I credit the booth price, the opportunity to give a talk (marketing opportunities you provided artists) and the location in NYC. I needed the opportunity to price the art where the art collector would buy and someone (you) to bring us together. Please let me know about next year."

"As a veteran artist of many, many art fairs, festivals and Artexpo shows, I would recommend ContemporaryArtFairNYC if you are ready to step up your game. As a third year exhibitor (2012) I am expecting another first rate art show experience. Richard Rothbard and American Art Marketing are experienced in all aspects of show producing. They are invested in NYC and it's art scene and have been for many years. They know what's going on. And on top of everything that goes into producing a show like this in NYC, Richard and Joanna and their staff really care about me, the artist. As an exhibitor, I am valued and my concerns are important to them. From my experiences with AAM, I know that they will do all in their power to make the artists' experience profitable, enjoyable and sustainable. Here is a show for artists to show to an educated NYC audience, to present their work seriously in an affordable 'expo' type of show. I have been a part of this show now for two years and am looking forward to 2012. This show is on it's way to becoming a staple of the NYC art scene."

"I just wanted to tell you thank you. I was thrilled to see my work in the advertising. That was a bonus for me for sure. I wish we had had more time to chat but I appreciate you coming by the booth. I had a good show experience for the first time in NYC and an indoor event. Metro was very helpful and professional. I made some good contacts and the only way to get people on your mailing list and coming to future shows is by participating in shows."
