Workshop
FATart Fair 2018
If an artist wants to exhibit her works in an art fair, she has always been dependent on the goodwill of a gallery. To this day, patriarchal social structures represent obstacles that make it difficult for women to gain a foothold in the art market. The result: A still markedly small proportion of women in Swiss art exhibitions. There is a need for an art fair exclusively for women artists, there is a need for a FATart Fair! One of these was extremely innovative and the first in all of Europe.
The first edition of the FATart Fair in September 2018 started brilliantly. 50 artists presented their works in the Kammgarn West in Schaffhausen and at the same time laid the foundation for the beginning of a new art history for women.
Flip the art market. Now.
