Art Basel 2017 Recap / by Shawn Outen

I had a great time, overall, for my first Art Basel. Although the other gallery we partnered with had some internal issues. So many of the artist didn’t get to connect with everyone like they wanted. I think with it becoming more popular, the structure of some galleries are adjusting to just getting into the art world.

Our pop up at Big Drop in South Beach was a success! Many people came out over the course of the day. The DJ was amazing, the drinks were going, and the vibes were flowing. We eventually sold out of the first drop and got so much awesome feed back, that Big Drop wanted to further our collaboration.

I want to thank Simone King and the Big Drop team. I also want to thank the people who traveled so far just to come check out my artwork, you’ll forever be appreciated! Happy Holidays!
