Last week I had a chance to visit the Clio Art Fair, a “anti-fair for independent artists," in New York City. The art fair focuses on artists without exclusive NYC gallery representation to provide a platform for ground-breaking art that transcends traditional hierarchies and markets. The show was unique in that it included a wide array of different mediums, from ceramic sculpture to photography and video. Here are a few snapshots from the fair:

After exploring the Clio Art Fair and the Armory’s open studios my friends and I happened upon a street artist painting on the High Line inviting passersby to join him. The sign in front of the group said “A better world is just around the corner.”
Summer and so many more exciting art activities are just around the corner and I can’t wait!
