Our exhibitors reported excellent sales during this year’s show.

Conde Contemporary, for instance, kicked off their season with a resounding success at Art San Diego: “We could not possibly be happier with the results of Art San Diego. We sold through about 75% of the inventory we brought with us and left with a number of commissions for our artists.
