About La Superette
La Superette is an annual event, an art sale held in early December to coincide with the holiday season. We organize a temporary store where artists sell functional and affordable art in multiples. In addition to the sale, musical performances and video screenings run throughout the day, adding to the festive atmosphere.
La Superette is conceived as a place for artists to meet and collaborate on a specific project. Since it's inception in 1998, La Superette has exhibited the work of hundreds of artists and attracted thousands of visitors and shoppers. This year we are producing a full color book which visually chronicles the event's ten year history.
La Superette is organized and produced by Ignivomous, with generous support from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.
When & Where
La Superette will take place in early December at a brand new location near the South Street Seaport, in Manhattan. Exact dates and times are still being finalized.
