Exhibited: Keith Haring, Robert Indiana, Chris Bracey, David Spiller, Jason Myers, Thalen & Thalen, Gino Miles, Jamea Richmond-Edwards, Tatyana Fazlalizadeh and Constance Edwards Scopelitis.
An installation (The 99%: United We Stand - comprised of 99 intimately-scaled portraits) by multi-media artist Jason Myers was also featured at the front of the fair. According to the artist, "[E]ach portrait portrays a faceless, nameless member of the 99% -- each unknown to most except the IRS and the NSA. All are asked to place their faith in God and .GOV while the 1% make the decisions that impact their daily lives. But, when viewed together, the 99% is a powerful force to be respected and heard."
The artist and Long-Sharp Gallery donated one-third ($1,000) of the purchase price of each painting to Direct Relief, a charity providing humanitarian medical aid.
