Bridging the gap between discovery and purchase

With five key sections—Home, Exhibitors, Artworks, Favorites, and About—the mobile app transforms how visitors explore the fair. They can pre-plan, like saving favorite pieces, do real-time navigation, easily search for artists or artworks, and locate the corresponding gallery and booth number, ensuring a more connected fair experience.

Engagement begins before the fair: discover & plan

Art lovers can explore participating galleries and their artworks beforehand, building anticipation and making their visit more meaningful. By saving their favorite pieces, they arrive at the fair with a clear sense of direction and intent, leading to more confident purchasing decisions.

Augmented reality and direct inquiries

Using the Affordable Art Fair mobile app, collectors can now visualize artworks in their own space using Augmented Reality, helping them assess scale, fit, and ambiance before arriving at the fair and making a purchase. Additionally, visitors can inquire about artworks and pricing directly through the app before the fair, fostering early connections between collectors and galleries.

Seamless navigation and discovery at the fair

No more wandering! Visitors can efficiently plan their route with the booth details available at their fingertips. Each artwork listing is linked to its gallery and booth number, ensuring a smooth and organized experience. Collectors can easily find the pieces they fell in love with online and see them in person, making informed purchasing decisions with confidence.
