While our gallery's mission has always been aligned with the sensibilities of classic and modern masters, the media's attention seemed to become captured by the contemporary art scene and "Zero Art" movement. Despite the trend, AFA continued to support artists who created imaginative artwork rooted in masterful technique, and thanks to these artists and our collectors, we have experienced exciting and extraordinary growth this past year. The gallery continues to showcase an extraordinary group of artists who have a unique vision and manifest it with a great amount of technical virtuosity. The criteria we have set inspires an interesting discussion, and we invite you to inquire to share our savvy. We can clarify why these particular artists are important today, and how they are moving towards inevitably making a significant contribution to the art world. AFA's small stable of artists are represented passionately and permanently, not only in New York, but soon in New Orlear i as well. This new location will open on a great block on Royal Street in a couple of weeks. It is a little gallery right in the heart of the French Quarter. A smaller number of exhibitions rotate through our historic in France, which has been a thriving cultural center since 2005. Within the Chateau Belcastel we offer classical concerts, master classes and a private suite for visitors. It is beautiful and if you come out to visit when we are there during the summer we will be happy to show you around. EFTA00557868
