ACAF NY will be New York's first Asian Contemporary Art Fair.

ACAF debuts November 8-12, 2007 at Pier 92 with new works by a front line of contemporary masters and a fascinating selection of work in varied media by emerging artists who are setting tomorrow's trends. ACAF brings to New York a vibrant, international art market, attractive to experienced collectors but accessible to those new to contemporary Asian art. ACAF will arrange special opportunities for dialogue and learning, and will become a point of convergence where some of the most respected dealers of contemporary Asian art will engage collectors and the general public.

A prime objective of ACAF NY will be to enrich knowledge and enhance familiarity with contemporary Asian art. To that end, a guest-curated exhibition will feature works that highlight salient issues and significant trends. A series of lectures led by renowned curators, dealers, and scholars will add perspective to appreciating and collecting contemporary Asian art and will cultivate a scholarly forum on current topics.

ACAF NY will open with a gala event and preview prior to the public opening at Pier 92 in Manhattan.

ACAF NY will place selected exhibitors in a prime location supported by targeted promotion and special opportunities to connect with new clients and to present their artists to an international market.

The fair will offer a professional environment:

· 80 exhibitors from over 10 countries
· Large booths
· Extensive marketing campaign
· Daily press briefings
· Cultural and educational programs designed to complement the fair
· Special exhibition
· Scholarly lecture series
· Expert collecting advice
· VIP lounge
· International art publications
· Cafe and guest lounge

Western collectors have become increasingly curious and enthusiastic about Asian art; recent contemporary art fairs and auctions have been avidly attended and enormously successful. ACAF NY is timed to introduce a select group of dealers to both sophisticated collectors and a large and interested public. You will want to be there.
