00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: The affordable art fairs coming to Boston for the first

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: time this weekend, and before you show up with three quarters,

3
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: you dug out of the cup holder a reminder that

4
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: affordable is a relative term.

5
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 2: There's a price ceiling on all of the fairs that

6
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 2: we have, so in Boston it's up to ten thousand dollars.

7
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: Some of the non affordable art shows can easily reach

8
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 1: prices in the millions, and in fairness, the art here

9
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: starts at one hundred bucks.

10
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 3: Showrunner Aaron Schupert says featuring artists from Tokyo to London

11
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 3: in this way is about making art a little more accessible.

12
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 2: It's supposed to be joyous and you know, something that

13
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 2: you can do with friends and family that doesn't feel

14
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 2: sort of like you're supposed to have a foundational knowledge

15
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 2: in anything.

16
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: She says, although art has a tendency to be gatekeepy,

17
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: that's mellowing out.

18
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 2: I'm definitely seeing that that is something that is sort

19
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 2: of slowly changing in the overall art market.

20
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: The show, featuring more than four hundred artists, is going

21
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: on all weekend. Kyle Shaffle BBS Boston's news radio
