3rd Annual Art Fair 14C to Showcase Over 120 Gallery And Artist Exhibitors

Art Fair 14C, an initiative of Art House Productions, has announced the exhibitor list and Juried Show for its 2021 edition of the Art Fair, featuring over 120 regional and International Artists and galleries. The fair will take place November 12-14, 2021 in the Glass Gallery at Mana Contemporary - featuring 40,000 sq feet of continuous exhibition space.

Art Fair 14C was created in 2018 to provide local and area artists and arts organizations with the international art fair experience that is now crucial to making a living in the arts. The annual fair provides a showcase for hundreds of artists from New Jersey, New York and around the world, giving area art lovers exposure to a wide variety of visual artworks, in all media and for all budgets. In just its third year, Art Fair 14C has become the largest and most important visual arts event on the New Jersey calendar. After two years on the Jersey City waterfront at the Hyatt Regency, Art Fair 14C moves in 2021 to an expansive new space - the 40,000 sq ft Glass Gallery at Mana Contemporary.

Art Fair 14C strives to make art fairs more inclusive, the efforts of which are reflected in the diversity of its exhibitors. Due to the significant expense of participating in traditional art fairs, small and mid-sized galleries, as well as individual artists, are often left out of this critical opportunity of art sales. 14C's lower participation costs, targeted community outreach, and accessible application process ensures the fair's exhibitors represent a wide variety of artistic mediums, styles, and sizes. Several exhibitors will be participating in their first ever art fair, including AKWAABA GALLERY (Newark, NJ), 4 Flavors Art Gallery (Montclair, NJ), Office Space (Salt Lake City, UT), and more.

The Glass Gallery at Mana Contemporary is surrounded by dramatic natural light on the north, south and west sides and features 15-foot-high hanging space, making it an ideal location to display and experience art. The airy layout, furnished by FB International, was designed with social distancing and safety for all exhibitors and attendees in mind. The fair will also feature five installation spaces, allowing the fair to include unique, immersive art installations for the first time.

The installation booths will feature ANNE DUSHANKO DOBEK (New Providence, NJ), DEBBIE HESSE (New Haven, CT), Frank Ippolito (Jersey City, NJ), Rita Jimenez (Lyndhurst, NJ), and Shell Space: Margaret Roleke (Easton, CT).
