San Diego Contemporary Art Fair

Last evening I attended the San Diego Contemporary Art Fair opening night. I have been to all the previous san diego art fairs and each one seems to be an improvement on the last. The venue of the Activity Center in Balboa Park is really a great location. Extremely high ceilings, dark grey carpets and well designed white wall booths and lighting creates a nice atmosphere for the fair. The booths and total space are really well designed with ample room to move through visitor traffic. The evening was quite festive and fun, and I had a chance to preview the art - surprisingly, there were several booths of individual artists and that is a change from previous shows. Also, there was a delegation from China who had several booths and a large variety of art work. It is a terrific addition to the fair. The fair runs through Sunday, September 9th, well worth a visit as there are many events taking place. It is good to see San Diego hosting a contemporary art fair.
