Here is their announcement;

Join Gallery19 for our debut at SOFA, the Sculptural Objects Functional Art and Design Fair held in Festival Hall on Chicago’s Navy Pier!

The fair, which has continuously run since 1994, features more than 80 national and international galleries. More than 35,000 people attend annually to view, buy and soak in the best new artwork these galleries have to offer. We are honored to be among these fine establishments and are looking forward to promoting the work of our Chicago-area artists.

Gallery19 will feature artists Max Sansing, Kathy Weaver, Ana Zanic and Su Yang as our primary focus for this fair. Max Sansing, who grew up on Chicago’s South Side, will premier his newest series of basketball backboard paintings. The artist, who uses his own past as inspiration, paints subjects that represent a strong and hopeful new generation. Kathy Weaver’s beautiful and shocking piece titled “Toxic Game” is a patchwork of airbrushed, torn and sewn paper depicting the cleanup efforts after the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011. Ana Zanic’s ethereal watercolors are a slow build of dynamic lines and washes. The artist’s work is both controlled and accidental. Su Yang’s expressive ink drawings depict the “New Style” of Chinese art, which melds both Eastern and Western aesthetics.

Gallery19 will be in Booth #222. SOFA’s opening night is Thursday, November 2^nd from 5-9pm. Regular fair hours are Friday, November 3^rd – Saturday, November 4^th from 10am-7pm, and Sunday, November 5^th from Noon-6pm.
