Welcome
It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the Affair at the Jupiter Hotel (2005) in Portland, Oregon. This fair continues what we started last year, an opportunity for professionals and enthusiasts to join us for three days of intense focus on contemporary art.
Saul Ostrow, a participant in the 2004 fair and the Dean of the Cleveland Institute of Art suggests that, “Art fairs, beyond their economic impact on a community, have in recent years become important educational and cultural events. They form momentary museums of contemporary art "bringing together and juxtaposing art works in unexpected combinations under novel
circumstances. What more could one want from art than the type of intense aesthetic and social experience that an art fair can afford. An art fair like the Affair at the Jupiter Hotel gives the hostcommunity not only a focus, but a sense of its cultural worth and ambition.”
Our fair is a intimately scaled event at a much-heralded boutique hotel. The supportive management and staff have conspired with us to provide a site for the intersection of creative expression and commerce. Affair at the Jupiter Hotel is the exhibition/event where you can develop contacts with knowledgeable dealers and curators, exchange opinions about emerging and mid-career artists, and make new acquisitions for your private or public collections. A panel discussion, special lecture, and numerous parties round out the educational and social offerings.
This year, the fair will coincide with the opening of the new Center for Modern and Contemporary Art at the Portland Art Museum. This is a significant event for the region because it will make visible the depth of the museum’s collections, and help to build knowledge about the art of the past and the present. We hope and expect that the ongoing presence of contemporary art in our city will encourage more exhibitions, more discourse, and more patronage.
We would like to thank all of the participants, sponsors, friends, and volunteers whose energies make the Affair at the Jupiter Hotel such a success. A special thanks to Adidas for their generous contribution this year.
