SOUTH FLORIDA ART GALLERY

DISCOVER ARTEXPO LAS VEGAS We invite you to exhibit at the inaugural Artexpo Las Vegas, a brand-new addition to the renowned Winter Las Vegas Market. Since its launch in 2005, Las Vegas Market has become the most diverse and unique industry sales and marketing platform in the United States, featuring an unparalleled cross-section of furniture, home décor, decorative accessories, and gifts throughout 5 million square feet of exhibition space.

The world’s top retailers and designers come to Las Vegas Market to see what’s new and what’s hot and to get ahead of trends for the coming season. And Artexpo is joining Las Vegas Market in 2018 as the show’s first-ever fine art venue!

Gain the attention and attract the purchasing power of buyers looking to explore fresh ideas, discover new trends, and connect with tastemakers. Artexpo Las Vegas brings together retailers and designers with contemporary galleries and artists for unparalleled trade and networking exposure. Don’t miss your chance to connect with buyers from every corner of the globe at this incredible event!

“

Artexpo was a very different show for us as a new gallery. We were exposed to several sides of the art business with which we were not entirely familiar, resulting in a broader understanding of existing opportunities. We grew our client base, widened our reach via marketing, expanded our list of contacts, and, ultimately, made sales. RMG is a professional, organized, and highly focused team, bent on customer service, assuring exhibitors’ needs are met in a timely, courteous, and consistent manner.

-Stacy Conde, Artexpo New York Exhibitor

KEY CRITERIA

Fine art publishers, galleries, and dealers who want to expand their reach and distribution to West Coast-based collectors and trade professionals.

Gallery owners, art dealers, and retailers primarily from the Western states who are shopping for new artwork, glass, and sculpture to discover and new artists to engage with, all with the goal of developing business opportunities together.

Interior designers and architects shopping for high-end artwork that can be placed in current or future projects, delivering an increased value proposition to their clients.

WHAT’S DIFFERENT?

Unlike consumer-focused art events where you are selling directly to collectors, Artexpo Las Vegas’s co-location with Las Vegas Market opens up an entirely new channel to interior designers, architects, and builders, as well as gallery owners, art dealers, and art consultants.

Unlike consumer art events where you are competing with casual collectors for time and attention, or other trade events that treat art as a subcategory of wall décor, Artexpo Las Vegas is only open to art trade professionals, and it features true fine art wholesalers.

Unlike standalone art events that give you insight into only one facet of your business, or other trade events that treat art as a subcategory of wall décor, Artexpo Las Vegas is a true fine art show co-located with one of the world’s largest furniture and décor events.

So you can expand your reach and distribution across new and exciting buyer segments while also meeting traditional fine art buyers from the West Coast in Las Vegas.

So you can find the next hot artist or collection at wholesale prices and spend time engaging on a professional level with artists, publishers, and industry peers on the West Coast.

So you can find the perfect fine art to add to your arsenal at the same time as you source the other components of your next design or retail collection, all in one trip to Las Vegas.
