After Moscow and Salzburg, ACS is proud to announce the first Athens World Fine Art Fair which will be held in the Zappeion Palace from the 20th to the 23rd of May 2011.  The fair will be run along the same lines as the Moscow and Salzburg World Fine Art Fairs comprising Antiques, Modern Classics, Contemporary Art and Fine Jewelry.  We are still open for exhibitor spaces and sponsorship opportunities.  Please contact Vera vera.voitenkova@artculturestudio.com  for further information.

As a reaction to the financial crisis which is spreading rapidly from the US to the rest of the world, the ArtCultureStudio management has decided to stop supporting the Moscow World Fine Art Fair and the Salzburg World Fine Art Fairs in 2009.

The Financial crisis is affecting many areas including the art & antiques world and the jewellery industry. High auction results and other events are diminishing rapidly. This tendency may worsen as months go by. Art dealers and jewellers are showing signs of prudence and prefer to give up international exposure during these times of uncertainty. This is also the case for sponsors which are less and less inclined to communicate via international events. The Moscow and Salzburg World Fine Art Fairs, like all other events of this nature, depend largely on the active support of their sponsors.

ACS has always opted to present the best quality regarding as much the works exhibited as the presentation of the fair itself and the organization prefers to cancel rather than sacrifice an inch of what it is most famous for.

ArtCultureStudio reached its decision wishing to show respect to those severely hit by this crisis. We believe that under the circumstances which we all know, it would have been unscrupulous to present yet another luxurious and festive event in Russia.

All communications or requests for further information must be addressed through the ACS head office in Geneva. All questions may be sent by email (info@artculturestudio.com) and ACS management will reply personally as quickly as possible.
