artMRKT Productions, a Brooklyn-­‐based organizer of art fairs founded in 2010 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 for leading national and international galleries. The company is offering three new art fairs in 2011 including artMRKT Hamptons; artMRKT San Francisco, a modern and contemporary art fair, which launched to rave reviews on May 19-­‐22, 2011, at San Francisco’s Concourse Exhibition Center and featured 65 galleries; and Texas Contemporary, taking place October 20-­‐23, 2011, in Houston at the George R. Brown Convention Center and featuring 50 galleries.

“We have been receiving excellent response from gallerists and collectors alike. And in the few short weeks before the show, enthusiasm is really growing exponentially,” noted Max Fishko. “Some of the best artists working today are on the East End of Long Island and together with top collectors, the Hamptons has a vibrant and exciting scene. We are thrilled to be a part of it.”

MRKTworks In conjunction with the fair, artMRKT Hamptons is also offering an innovative fund-­‐raising program known as MRKTworks, an online and onsite auction comprised of work donated by participating galleries to support local Hamptons-­‐based non-­‐profit organizations. Among the participating beneficiaries are The Nature Conservancy, which works to protect the Hamptons beloved shoreline among many other projects since the 1950s; Bay Street Theatre, renowned for presenting new, classic, and contemporary works while being an artistic haven for an extended family of artists and audiences; and Children’s Museum of the East End, which enriches the lives of children and families. Collectors will have the opportunity to bid both in advance online at art-­‐mrkt.com/hamptons/mrktworks and onsite during the run of the show, with 100 percent of the proceeds from each piece donated to the corresponding beneficiary.
