THE HARLEM FINE ARTS SHOW (HFAS) has offi cially opened its Virtual Art Show for 2021. It’s the largest traveling diasporic art show in the country showcasing more than 60 artists and galleries from around the world.

The fair runs through July 31, and features more than 1,200 pieces from Black artists valued at more than $100 million.

“We are pushing the envelope in support of African Diasporan artists during these challenging times when they are not able to be in front of collectors, said Dion Clarke, founder of the Harlem Fine Arts Show (HFAS). “In our current climate, where awareness of the Black aesthetic is top of mind across the globe, it is imperative for us to reinvent the way we engage with multi-cultural artists utilizing today’s technology.”

Featured artists this year include Ademola Olugebefola, Roederick Vines, John Pinderhughes, Danny Simmons, Frank Frazier, and more.
