For any local art gallery, expansion is exposure — being seen by more eyes, and beginning new relationships. In their continued growth, Southside Contemporary Art Gallery (@southsidecontemporary ) has widened their reach by participating in the most recent Affordable Art Fair (@affordableartfairnyc )- NYC Fall edition.  Since its opening in 2023, SCAG has maintained the ethos of accessibility. Similarly, as an organization, AAF’s goal is to “democratize the art world and make art accessible to all”. This parallel offers a stepping stone for SCAG that still maintains the core of who they are. Fairs are held in fifteen cities internationally, creating spaces across the world for a wider range of people to collect art and participate in the art world. The fairs showcase a diverse selection of artists from a global locale. At AAF NYC, SCAG presented works by artists Huey Lightbody, Dathan Kane and Coppere Ford. SCAG’s presence at the fair represented a significant move forward for the gallery. “A moment that let us know we are progressing on the right path and making some of the needed moves to succeed as the gallery we envision ourselves as,” says SCAG’s lead curator Ra-Twoine “Rosetta” Fields, “Having that nod of approval, attention, but also just affirmation and support, that felt really warming.”  The gallery’s artists of choice have all displayed work at SCAG in the past. With works ranging from varying abstraction to collage, the trio of artists showcases the gallery’s broad scope of subject and style, while maintaining a thread of artists exploring historical narrative, post-modern thought, shadow work, and self-actualization. Coppere Ford’s collagework, which was included in AAF NYC’s Director Erin Schubbert’s “Fair Director’s Picks”, is currently on display at SCAG, and has been extended to show through October 18th.

Richmond’s SCAG Gallery Pushes for Equity in the Art Market This is Keep it 1000, a SCAG exhibit series aiming to provide accessible entry into the world of contemporary fine arts for artists, collectors, and other community members. Each piece is priced at or around $1,000, a price that lends itself both to the artists and those purchasing. This particular installment was on display through December and January—one of the more transformative times of the year—and featured the artwork of eleven emerging artists from across the country. Together, the artworks entwine family, politics, gender, race, self-reflection, and unity. Read more, link in bio.
