Bringing together pioneers in the field like American Primitive Gallery, Carl Hammer Gallery, Luise Ross Gallery, Ames Gallery, Henry Boxer Gallery, Cavin-Morris Gallery, and Phyllis Kind Gallery, the event helped define an entire market. Seventeen years later, this lasting tradition continues to grow as a stirring showcase of well-known artists as well as newly discovered talents.
