Piercing Ken Thoughts: This news makes me sad and I must admit that its a selfish notion since I had only just attended “The Art Show” for the very first time last year. I don’t think that I had ever visited the Park Avenue Armory before and found that fascinating on its own. As far as the art was concerned I liked the works that I saw and the dealers that I spoke to but at the end of the day I was only able to get a video conversation with one gallerist. Everyone else seemed to be camera shy. That was different for me since I get more than a dozen per fair when I drop in to the Affordable Art Fair or the Artexpo New York. The sadder part of this cancellation is the effect that it will likely have on the folks over at the Henry Street Settlement. According to what I’ve read, The Art Show has been a big donation factor for their causes. I do hope that they successfully figure out what they want to do with this art show because I’d love to check it out again. There are already signs that there is no NYC Volta or a second Subjective Art Festival happening this year and that’s a shame as well. What do you art loving readers think about this news if you’ve ever attended The Art Show. Chime in down below in the comments and I will see you next time.
