All about art
Art market event Art Ground follows up on its successful debut with a bigger and better showcase of activities, an art market, an exhibition plus live music from Friday to Sunday (March 3-5) at The Jam Factory.
Aimed at building a community of art lovers among the new generation, the Art Ground gathers new and upcoming artists, giving them a stage to display their full body of works.
“It’s the market anyone can reach. I think it's a machine that will help drive the art circle forward. The event style goes together with the young generation’s lifestyle. A precious artwork is no longer necessarily found in the gallery but it can be anywhere, on the street or right here at The Jam Factory,” says Duangrit Bunnag, the space’s founder.
Art Ground comprises of different zones where visitors can enjoy a variety of activities and shopping for artworks.
The Art Now zone will showcase works by 14 artists who have worked with The Jam Factory magazine, among them Lolay Taweesak Srithongdee and Wisut Ponnimit. Art pieces will also be on sale here at reasonable prices.
The Art Found zone will showcase works by 40 new artists who will be on hand to chat with visitors.
In Art How zone, visitors can register for and join a workshop on alternative-process photography, which involves printing photos onto cloth through natural light. There will also be a screen-printing workshop for those who are interested in different methods of printing their own work.
Live music takes the stage in the Art Sound zone where selected singers and bands including Tai Prakasit and Solitude is Bliss will perform throughout the three-day event.
The art works range in price from Bt1,000 to Bt30,000.
