Clio Art Fair
Clio Art Fair, which takes its name from a word derived from the Greek root meaning “to celebrate”, is a quite special show that aims to promote contemporary artists by create a direct bond between them and collectors. At this “Anti-Fair”, as it likes to define itself, independent artists are the primary concern, not just sales. It thus showcases contemporary art and interventions created by artists from all over the world. Above all, it aims to create emotional connections. This true New-Yorker fair is a don’t-miss show to discover edgy independent artists, without yet any exclusive NYC galleries representation. It takes places in the busy month of March, at the same time for example as SCOPE Art Show or VOLTA. As an innovative fair, it is the first one to accept the primary crypto-values as a form of payment. Since 2020, the fair splits itself in three different locations: New York, Venice and Los Angeles.
