Can you provide a range or a minimum? Rates are all over the place across the industry, so saying "well" doesn't really mean much unless it's compared to a real number. Asking on behalf of @studyhall.bsky.social so I can share on the Opps Finder.

Meet the Gallerists with a New Vision for Art Fairs Alternative art fair models offer low costs for exhibitors and new aesthetic contexts for collectors.

For Artsy, I spoke with a half dozen gallerists and collectors about the rise of alternative art fairs like Esther, Basel Social Club, and Upstairs Art Fair.

Here's why these intimate, more experimental events are integral to the fair circuit.

Got it! I shared a general pitch call for Liberal Currents on Study Hall last week. If there are any specific topics you want to cover, let me know and I'll make a fresh pitch call with those!

Sorry but this tells me everything I need to know about how inferior the US version of The Traitors is. My UK hosting queen Claudia Winkleman would NEVER wear something so tacky and on-the-nose.
