NEW YORK, N.Y.- artMRKT, a newly formed Brooklyn-based organizer of art fairs, has announced the debut of artMRKT Hamptons, a new fair to be held Thursday, July 14 through Sunday, July 17, 2011, on the grounds of the Bridgehampton Historical Society in Bridgehampton, New York. artMRKT Hamptons will present more than 35 leading local, national and international galleries in a state-of-the-art tented venue.

artMRKT, founded last year by third generation gallerist Max Fishko and longtime business partner Jeffrey Wainhause, is gearing up to be one of the nation’s premiere fine art fair companies. In December, artMRKT announced the launch of artMRKT San Francisco, a modern and contemporary art fair to be held May 19 through 22, 2011, in San Francisco’s Concourse Exhibition Center with 65 local, national and international galleries. The company is also working to create a fair in Houston, TX.

“First and foremost, artMRKT is about the art. And it is also about the ideas, the energy, and the excitement that are harnessed and shared by everyone involved. We intend artMRKT’s atmosphere and approach to foster cultural, educational and intellectual transactions – and this responsibility we take seriously,” noted Max Fishko.

artMRKT Hamptons is working with a number of cultural organizations in the Hamptons to provide fairgoers with an enriching experience.
