Fairfax is Dead, Long Live MARKET:24!
The Fairfax is Dead Market:24 show was a huge success. We had around 200 attendees, 20 artists, and a diverse array of works from paintings and photography to mixed media art and fashion vendors. We brought together local community for art-gazing, networking, and meaningful conversation. So, a massive thank you to everyone who believed in this project, showed up, and helped make it happen.
Check out some of the pics from the event below, and stay tuned for more to come.
