A RT FA IRS DRAW
SUMMER CROWDS
While so many facets of the
art industry have changed,
art fairs and festivals still
play an integral role in the
promotion and sale of art.
Beginning on page 27, we
present an overview of
some of this summer’s art
fairs from Colorado’s
Cherry Creek Arts Festival
to the Ann Arbor Street Art
Fair in Michigan to ArtHamptons on Long Island.
Pejman Gallery on Main Street in Scottsdale, AZ.
EXCEPTIONAL EFFORT
MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Those galleries that are holding events seem to be surviving,
even thriving, the best. Excitement sells, and the sense of urgency that an event generates is conducive to encouraging
those who attend to consider making a buying decision. As
Bob Pejman, owner of Pejman Gallery in Shorthills, NJ, and
Scottsdale, AZ, observes,
urgency is a rare commodity in a bear market. “You
have to create it with an
event and, by the law of
averages, if you get
enough people in the
gallery, you will sell.” Success stories from galleries
in various parts of the
country support his theory.
Tal Milan, owner of Milan
Gallery in Fort Worth, TX,
says, “We know foot traffic is way down, and so we

QUOTE OF THE MONTH:
“You have to give the public
sizzle—you have to provide
something different. Every

IN OUR OPINION
MASTERING
THE SOFT SELL
n the age of blogs and
Tweets many old school galleries and frameshops are
having a difficult time strategizing while incorporating the role
of new, technologically-based
tools. For these folks adopting
such change into their business
comes with difficulty. For many,
the creation of their website
was enough to draw them kicking and screaming into the 21st
century. But now they realize
the marketing pendulum is
swinging away from them again
and they are now dipping their
toes into the pool of social
media. Even as rates of
adoption for the new media
increase, many retail businesses in our industry say
their efforts are falling well
short of success. Given the
amount of time to create
blogs, podcasts, videos, and
the like, retailers claim the
return on their efforts is negligible and therefore have
started to scale back on their
commitment. Having the opportunity to review varying
I
programs from different galleries and frameshops, it becomes clear what makes the
good platforms so effective.
In short, the answer is content. Good content is that
which is responsive to the
goal of transforming readers
and viewers into loyal customers, while noting the limitations of direct selling.
For the overwhelming majority of galleries and frameshops, the sale is an in-store
event that is closed by a
skilled professional. The marketing effort sets the table
while the salesperson builds
on what has been accomplished in the relationship,
fills in the voids where
needed, and closes the sale.
When managed correctly, the
benefits of good, well-prepared online content are
huge and are noted in dramatic productivity in the firm’s
selling efforts. At the very
worst, bad content weakens
customer relationships and
bogs down the selling process.

potential, such as those exiting Detroit for other cities,
notably Fort Worth. Most recently Mr. Milan held a multiday event for Thomas Arvid
that included two dinners

different venues including
Milan Gallery in Fort Worth
and Wisby Smith Fine Art in

LOS ANGELES—The A f f o r d ab l e A r t Fai r is stepping its

“We are excited to finally introduce the Affordable Art

Judith Pineiro, director of the
AAF in the U.S. With the
plentiful amount of fine art
collectors, dealers, donors,
curators, and professionals in
the area, Los Angeles is one
of the most vivacious and upand-coming at cities in the
country and world, she says.
In 2001, the AAF made its
debut in New York City, where
it now has a spring and fall
show. Founded by Will
Ramsay, the AAF also takes
place in London and Bristol,
England; Brussels and Milan

Singapore.
Dedicated to supporting new

NEW YORK—Reb ec c a
Ho s s ac k Gal l er y NYC has
opened on Mott Street in
Nolita. Gallery owner
Rebecca Hossack opened
her first gallery in London in
1988, and today has two in
England’s capital: one on
Charlotte Street and one on
Conway Street, both in
Fitzrovia. The 400-squarefoot New York location features original and limited
edition work, with a focus on
contemporary and Aboriginal
work, ranging from $500 to
$25,000. Gallery director Laurie Carroll says, “Over the
years the Rebecca Hossack
Gallery has done many American art fairs especially in
New York and I think we
found that the Americans really took to our eye for work
and we have been able to
build up a really great client
base in the States.”
As one of the grand opening
exhibits, the new gallery held
a show called “Mott Street in
July,” which featured the work
of 13 artists. Inspired by the
Rodgers and Hart song “Manhattan,” artists created work
based on the gallery’s Nolita
neighborhood. Shown is
Helen Flockhart’s “Indoors,
July,” an oil on panel measuring 7 1/2 by 9 1/2 inches. For

Mrs. Arnot always hosts a
reception during the biannual Gallery Night on 57th
Street, capitalizing on the excitement it fosters and the
crowds of art lovers it attracts. Similarly, Bob Pejman
ensures that the Pejman
Gallery in Scottsdale makes
the most of that town’s
weekly art walks in which
some 40 galleries participate. “What the art walk
does is build excitement—
there is something going
on—and people are more
likely to buy when they are
around others. There is a
category of people who,
when they see an event
going on and the place is
packed, they feel they are
part of something. It is the
same phenomenom if you
want to eat in New York City,
and you look in the window
of a restaurant: If there are
two people in there you
probably won’t go in, but
if you see a lot happening

EXCEPTIONAL
want to be part of it.” He believes that a gallery event can
enable a perspective buyer to
subconsciously justify the
purchase of a piece of art.
Sometimes Mr. Pejman will
make his gallery stand out
during an art walk by hanging
a banner outside and holding
a reception with professionals pouring wine. He says,
“The thing about serving
wine is that there is that couple who say to each other,
‘Honey, let’s go there.’”
Two factors need to be in
place for a successful event,
he believes. “Either the
artist has a following, and
you had better have that
marketing list, or you need
to feed off an art walk.” It’s
time consuming to organize
and event, he says, but it is
not necessarily expensive.
“There is a lot of legwork in
hanging the gallery, and you
want to throw everything out
and see what sticks.” He
does e-mail marketing, but
no cards except for very
special people. He e-mails
visuals and lets it be known
that wine will be served. He
always gets professionals
from the National Bartenders Association to do
that and it may cost him
$500, including the wine. “I
don’t serve food because
you attract free loaders.” It
helps, says Mr. Pejman, if
people meet the artist.
A few weeks ago, Sergey
Cherep, whose work is represented by Sergey Cherep

garnered two advance articles in the local press which
helped. “When you get enthusiastic people at a show,

not only meet the artist,

says that clients especially
love the opportunity to purchase artwork that they
know will be passed down
to their children and will
often times bring their
children to the events for
a family photograph with
the artist.
To enhance the experience, Martin Lawrence Galleries will change the décor
to fit the event. They may
change wall colors, create
window displays, hire musicians to play music that fits
the theme, or add appropriate accoutrements. “In addition, our galleries have
been quite successful at
garnering sponsorships from
local wineries and eateries.
“Many of these establishments are looking for ways
to get their name out there,
and aligning themselves
with a fine art gallery with
sophisticated clientele is
typically of great appeal.
While one has to be careful
not to overshadow the artwork by making the event
more about the wine or food
being offered, it adds another
layer of interest.”
