At the art fair, you can meet all of the artists, as they will be outside accompanying their collections. You can ask them to commission a specific piece for your home or office (prices vary, ask your favorite artist for an estimate) or you can buy one of the pieces that the artists have already made and put on sale. If you’re particularly interested in an artist’s personal style and would like for them to create a piece of art just for you, be sure to ask them about the sources of their inspirations first. You just might be surprised at how great their art will look in your house!
The art fair begins at the same area in which artists sign in and register their booths: at 600 E. Las Olas Boulevard. Sponsors of the 28th annual Las Olas Art Fair include The Lincoln Motor Company, GEICO, and In Jacob’s Shoes.
