- – - – - – - – - – -

Verge Third Annual Art Miami Beach Artist’s Open Calls
The General Application Deadline for the Third Annual International Art Miami Beach Is This Friday, July 15

The Art Miami Beach Artist’s Open Calls Deadline September 15
Applications are being accepted through September 15 for the Art Miami Beach open call juried exhibtions. Art Miami Beach is looking for the best in not-yet-seen before new work; to prevent lobbying, finalists selected by a blind panel of distinguished jurors will be given space to exhibit one work from their application at Art Miami Beach. Works selected by the panel will be exhibited at Art Miami Beach. This open call is available to all artists practicing in every media, in and outside of the Miami area. Apply online by clicking here.

‘Tomorrow Stars And “The Drawing Show”
Verge will seek to expand upon its enterprising market efforts and further cultivate the fair’s position as a uniquely compelling place for new art. First introduced at Art Brooklyn, the much-loved “Tomorrow Stars” juried Open Call will be continued in Miami Beach, alongside last year’s “Drawing Show” section, reformatted as a juried exhibition as well, this year giving individual artists two powerful new juried exhibition options for reaching tomorrow’s informed collectors.

Gallery Applications
A few spaces are still available for galleries to exhibit at Art Miami Beach. Fees for participation are extraordinarily accommodating at a mere $7,000 for an average of 350 square feet of exhibition space. Download the application by clicking here. Apply today and find out why Verge is a reliable exposition for artists and galleries to experiment, make a name for themselves and evolve in the American marketplace. Verge boasts a successful track record for influencing the art fair market in part because of its more intimate management team and staff, who give their all to provide personal service and encouragement for exhibitors to take risks and break with convention. Verge strives to represent art from the perspective of its artists and galleries, and break with the dilletantte conventions of the auction-ratings approach to the value of art. Join Verge for a third year record-breaking effort. After a clear upsurge in sales figures from last year, Miami Beach retains its position as the most successful art fair destination in the United States and the world.

Sponsorship
Interested parties may request a sponsor deck at sponsorship@vergeartfair.com.

Publicity And Press Outreach
Verge has had great success with past media sponsorship outreach, including Art In America, Mutualart.com, ArtFacts and numerous others, and will aggressively pursue these sponsorships and others on behalf of Art Miami Beach. Additionally, a targeted advertising strategy will be organized and executed focusing on relevant art publications and outreach organizations, including popular art announcement services such as Re-title, Flux, VANlist, and others, with opt-in subscription totals well into the millions. Art Miami Beach and its partners will also pursue an integrated outreach strategy through proprietary subscription lists, social media, web and print advertising and available public displays.

About Verge Art Miami Beach
Verge is an international platform for the most exciting and interesting in new and emerging art. Verge exists to establish boundaries of the extraordinary as a counter to the natural compulsion towards stagnation in the way art is evaluated and delivered to the public. Staying true to this necessary state for the advancement of art requires a sustained focus on the best new ideas and practices of those marginal or newly emerging to international art audiences. The satisfaction of this fixed requirement for a healthy and competitive artistic culture is at the core of Verge as an international exposition of the highest quality artistic production and the galleries, museums and audiences who sustain it.
