The annual AAB Festival brings together the most advanced elites of Chinese contemporary art. From the graduating art stars who have just graduated from a short period of time to famous artists who have made a name for themselves, nearly a thousand artists have dedicated their own efforts to participate in the AAB art stage. Many of the young artists who have emerged from AAB in the past were selected by well-known galleries. At that time, a considerable part of the works below 10,000 yuan had appreciated greatly in recent years. It can be expected that there will be more fine products this year, and more Maxima will wait for Bole's eye-catching talents.

Audience

The purpose of AAB is to let everyone enter the art market and enjoy art freely. We believe that buying art is also a process of enjoying art. Unlike most people's imagination, buying original artworks is a luxury and a distant dream. AAB seeks to enable all art lovers to truly own their own high-quality artistic products within their budget. At the previous AAB Festival, more and more young art lovers joined the ranks of art purchases. Contemporary art has really entered the public life in this way.

review

In 2006, the Beijing Affordable Arts Festival landed in Beijing, China for the first time. Although the first art festival held at the 798 Art Center was attended by more than 100 artists, it was so successful that it had to take measures to make the audience stand in line. enter. The festivals of 2007 and 2008 continued to be held successfully in 798. In the 10 years of 2009, AAB moved to Sanlitun Orange Hall, the center of trend culture in Beijing, and achieved remarkable results. Hundreds of people waited in line to enter the exhibition hall before the show. Within the first few hours of the exhibition, two works were sold per minute.

Why do you have to hold the Beijing Affordable Arts Festival?

Two reasons for AAB

1 Give more collectors and art lovers the opportunity to purchase and participate in cultural events at the festival. Art is not a symbol of social elites and wealth, but every society has the power to visit, learn and participate in social activities. So we don't have tickets and anyone can visit and buy. AAB's mission is to bring art closer to the public.

2 Provide artists with a platform to show their work to the public. AAB allows artists to communicate directly with buyers and art lovers. Artists are also allowed to choose their own work for exhibition and to price their own work. There is no participation fee, no high commission, free and flexible sales principles, entirely within the control of the artist himself.

Outlook

Thanks to the successful organization of AAB, many groups and organizations have started similar activities. These similar events organized by large and small organizations are a symbol of influence for AAB. It can be said that AAB Art Festival is gradually developing from a small art event to an annual event with a brand effect. The tremendous support we gained in previous years is our driving force. Good feedback is our confidence. We sincerely hope that under our efforts, art will come out of small circles, and the art market will also become more and more bright and beautiful tomorrow.
