VIP Fair Gets 1 Million Dollars In Funding

Screen Shot Of The Fair
On the day before it's second annual run (Feb 3-8) organizer of the VIP Art Fair, Which is the first ever virtual art fair is being held entirely online. Announced new funding and management appointments. Organizers of the fair announced the closing of the first round of funding by two well known international investors, Selmo Nissebaum  (Brazilian Art Collector) who is a partner in Personale Investimentos and Phillip Keir (a media and arts specialist and founder of NextMedia). Together the invested a total of 1 MILLION dollars into the fair.

I think this online fair is awesome because maybe you really want to see the fair but it is on the other side of the globe and you might not have enough money for a trip, You don't have to buy a plane ticket or a bus ticket or a train ticket you can see the entire fair from your computer. Also if you are a artist in the fair you will get more recognized. Because maybe 1,000 people might see your painting in a regular fair but in the online fair the numbers keep going on and on and on for the amount of views you could get. I think the investors are smart to invest into something like this.
