"If you are interested in collecting art, art fairs are an excellent place to begin your art education. In a short period of time, you can see a wide range of works. While some fairs focus on a specific type of artwork, like photography, prints, or contemporary art, others present a broader range. Usually only the top galleries and dealers can afford the high cost of participating in art fairs. In addition, art fair organizers are selective as to whom they invite and allow to participate, so you can expect to see quality artwork presented by reputable art dealers at these art fairs."
