Curious about what’s in store at the ZAPP® Conference? Listen to the two most popular sessions from last year’s conference: The 2010 opening presentation, Rise of the Aggregators, and the 2010 symposium session, State of the Art Fair.
Rise of the Aggregators:
The 2010 conference opened with a presentation from writer, researcher, lecturer, and cultural consultant, András Szántó. Szántó’s thought-provoking keynote chronicles the ups and downs of the gallery system. Szanto predicts that the next art-world business model is one in which artists will sell directly to the marketplace and marvels that art fair and festival artists have done this for years.

State of the Art Fair:
What happens when you get Stephen King (Des Moines Arts Festival), Elaine Kroening (Positively Pewuakee), Reed McMillan (The Artist Project New York), Larry Oliverson (Lawrence W. Oliverson Fine Art Photography), Teresa Saborsky (ARTiculate Sculpture; National Association of Independent Artists), and Steven Wood Schmader (International Festivals and Events Association) in the same room together? You get an in-depth conversation about the current state of the art fair! At the 2010 ZAPP® Conference, these leaders tackled topics that included the impact of generational change and the role of art fairs and festivals in creating community. LISTEN NOW

Finally we will meet, Julie! Great.
Sara, did you click on the agenda? Does it look like it will be of interest to you, do you see any sessions that meet your concerns? Seeing your images in a host of others is always enlightening. We're going to have an excellent panel about jurying also....
I'm looking forward to seeing this festival. I think it is a beautiful time of the year to be in Atlanta and Atlantans love Piedmont Park.
Yes, I am. I'm also going to be on one of the panels discussing jurying from all its aspects, the art fair organizer, the juror and the artist perspective.
Will you be there, Julie?
