The first Art Fair Artists' Union of St. Petersburg
 

Time - June 6-10 at Bolshaya Morskaya 38.

Decent standard of work, there is much to see and buy.
You can communicate with the artists a rare opportunity to learn the price of the authors.

That black dog ! Looking at the pictures , the feeling that this is not "Art Fair Artists 'Union of St. Petersburg " in 2012 , and , at best, "Exhibition of the Artists' Union in Leningrad " in 1986 .

Especially contrasted against the backdrop of today's post about the exhibition " Currents . Samara avant-garde " Cyril Syzran . Here is there - life dvizhuha ...

And then , whether photographs unsuccessful , then there really so sweet <! - ~ 3 ~ ->

This is because the m-and p and p to a.

Ie implies Commercial interest above all.
Here, "the supply and demand."

Although, in my opinion, there was no proper advertising.

I'll go another 10 th, the last day, ask sales results.

The town began a pilgrimage of tourists. It's time for a fair ... Here and in the gallery on the Nevsky , " H Avenue " ( d.78 , 5th floor ), today held a vernissage " The palette of the White Nights ." The exhibition team , represented by many famous artists in the city ...
Gallery is very well decorated , several rooms , all professionally correct. The owner of , say , a Muscovite ...
In the " Boree " , next , a group of nonconformists , too, put up for sale its characteristic work ...

All true, but today she learned that the artists are unhappy - an exhibition fee , and no advertising , visitors few.
The cost of participation 3.6 tr depending on the amount of work.
But in general, the city in galleries, as I know, was formed argument, what to look for artists who can sell ...

Judging by the photos on display too much kitsch <! - ~ 2 ~ ->

On the last day of the exhibition and sale.
 

Sales from the exhibition were , albeit slightly, by about 10%.
Prices from 45 000rub . The general impression , sorry :
- poor organization ,
creepy - hanging ,
-no decent advertising
- Banner at the entrance did not appear until the following day
management for artists does not
3- in - 6000 rub do not show PR , room rental costs money , advertising is also not free.

Are the artists to pay more ? I think not many.
As for the galleries - a total indifference to contemporary culture , as opposed to sport, it would be difficult to sell any artist.

Those who rent?
This union halls artists!

Utility bills - from contributions, hanging yourself, watch too ...

During that same time, these participants were paid £ 3-6000?

At the same time ask, firstly, the conditions for participation in the fair of artists and, secondly, the right to a building built for artists at the expense of Roerich.

Added after 8 minutes

And the same question: who is who and why rent?

Interestingly, when in St. Petersburg will be held March Artists and Writers?
