California has a pretty bustling art scene, especially with all the art galleries around, and the famous museums such as the MOCA in LA and the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center, just to name a few.  That’s why I’m excited that there will be a new art fair debuting this year in San Diego.  It’s called Beyond the Border International Contemporary Art Fair

 

From Beyond the Border’s press release:

San Diego’s first Beyond the Border International Contemporary Art Fair (BTB ICAF) is a 3-day contemporary art fair that will take place at the luxurious Grand Del Mar and include national and international galleries featuring over 500 works by established and emerging contemporary artists from all over the world who have been selected by an esteemed committee of art leaders from this region, exhibiting in The Grand Del Mar’s expansive ballroom accompanied by numerous luxury exhibitors and food and wine events. (ooh, la la!)

The event will showcase over $4 million in artwork coupled with sponsors such as Maserati, Modern Luxury Media, Qualcomm, Christie’s, The American Institute of Wine and Food, The California Bipolar Foundation, Lugano Diamonds, and many others.  BTB ICAF anticipates attendance of over 3,000 new and established collectors over the three days.  The public is invited to attend the  event, which marks the first time these national and international galleries with investment-grade art will be presented in San Diego.
