The Affordable Art Fair LA
The Event Deck at LA L.I.V.E
January 18 – 22, 2011

Position: Fair Assistant.

Schedule: Monday January 16 – Monday January 23, 2012 inclusive.
*Varied hours depending on availability.

Overview: Twelve years ago, Will Ramsay broke the mold of the traditional art fair by creating the Affordable Art Fair, where contemporary, original art is accessible to a wide audience through a friendly and welcoming environment. The fair emphasizes that one does not need to be an art expert or billionaire to purchase works of art by living artists. With the
fair taking place annually in Amsterdam, Bristol, Brussels, London (spring and fall), Melbourne, Milan, New York (spring and fall), North London, Singapore, and Sydney, $300 million worth of art has been sold at the fairs and we welcomed our one millionth visitor in November 2011. The mission of the fair worldwide is to serve those buying their first work of art to the traditional collector. The brand’s continued success is because we produce a professionally managed
event, bring in a varied audience, and maintain quality exhibitors.

Fair Assistants will get a behind the scene look at how a contemporary art fair is planned and managed. Assistants will learn about event planning, gain exposure to the arts and be part of an important cultural event.

Requirements: Fair Assistants should be interested in the arts or in event management. All assistants need to have an upbeat attitude and be willing to do whatever job comes up. Flexibility, organization, and an eagerness to help are essential qualities. All fair assistants should be willing and able to work long hours, and be prepared to be on their feet for long stretches of time. It is a fun project to work on and a fun team to work with, and we are happy to discuss the position and the company further.
