Bridge Art Fair proudly returns this year to the Catalina Hotel, 1732 Collins Avenue,
Miami Beach, for another successful exhibition. Last year’s Miami show resulted in over
$4 million in sales--crowds filled the hotel to capacity and beyond, spilling onto Collins
Avenue throughout the day and night. This year’s fair will host 80 international
exhibitors from Brazil, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK, and the

for schedule, exhibitors, and details about Bridge.)
The Miami show follows the exciting premier launch of Bridge London 07, and begins
the buildup to the highly anticipated Bridge NYC 08. Bridge has become a major
influence in the international contemporary art market, offering new finds for collectors
and art professionals.
Bridge London 07, located at the historic Trafalgar Hotel, featured 70 exhibitors from
Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, the UK,
and the US. The abundant media coverage included the Art Newspaper, the New York
Times, ABC, BBC, CNN, Fox News, and Art Info. Sales figures were well over a million
dollars, with high-profile buyers including Beth DeWoody and a number of major US
museums. Lloyd’s TSB, the fair’s sponsor, was inherent to the success of Bridge, inviting
many important clients and offering special art purchasing programs.
Bridge will premier its first New York fair in March 2008. Located at the Tunnel
Warehouse, on 11th Ave. between 27th and 28th St., the fair will include over 60
international exhibitors. This exhibition, the first booth fair for Bridge, will have a special
focus on contemporary Asian art.
Each future Bridge fair will have a more intensive focus, giving each show a new look to
provide collectors and museums a unique experience. New and expanded programs for
media, VIPs, a benefit reception, corporate days and receptions, curatorial projects, and
an Advisory Board will assist in growing Bridge. Check your email in January!

About Bridge
Founded by Michael Workman, Bridge Art Fair burst onto the international scene in
December 2006, at Bridge Miami. Since its inaugural exhibition, Bridge has premiered
new shows in London and Chicago. Bridge Art Fair is a production of Bridge, NFP, a
Chicago-based organization. Prior to the Bridge Art Fair, Workman and associates
produced Nova Young Art Fair, which was specifically aimed at supporting emerging
galleries and artists; Nova had two successful shows in Chicago, in 2005 and 2006.
Bridge also produced consecutive editions of Artboat, an alternative art fair on a luxury
yacht, in Chicago. The Artboat offered visitors to Art Chicago the opportunity to take a
break from the hustle and bustle of the fair and enjoy a cruise on Lake Michigan with
young, cutting-edge galleries and artists. Bridge is also known for its art magazine and
journal, which published art reviews, commentary, and criticism from 2000 to 2006.
