Charity Art Sale
Supporting Artexpo's mission of carrying popular art into the future by continually cultivating and encouraging the artistic spirit, International Artexpo will host a Charity Art Sale where exhibitor donated art will sell at wholesale prices. All proceeds will benefit Art Start, a non-profit organization dedicated to furthering art among today's youth.

Art Start is an arts-based youth development organization that provides free, multi-disciplinary arts programs for underprivileged youth and teenagers in New York City.

Special Events and Exhibits
For the first time at Artexpo, ArtBots, a global art exhibition for robotic art and art-making robots, celebrates the diverse and emerging world of artistry in electronics. A family of robots will interact with exhibitors and attendees alike, allowing the public to experience the sights and sounds of a growing new art form.
