Palm Beach, FL- Over 6,000 VIPS attended the opening Vernissage of Art Palm Beach Thursday evening, January 20, 2011. The lobby of the Palm Beach County Convention Center was packed with Palm Beaches best and brightest all waiting to view the outstanding array of artwork exhibited.

Exhibitors were in good spirits while engaging in conversations with the many distinguished collectors in attendance. Many reported multiple sales and expressed pleasure in the quantity and quality of the attendees. Michael James from Michael James Fine Art commented, "The Fair is absolutely fantastic; really, really well attended. There were record crowds, lots of interest, a few good sales and I'm very excited. It should be a good show."

The guests described the Fair with enthusiasm and praise declaring, "The show is fabulous we enjoyed everything about it," commented Barbara Donna, a collector from Boca Raton.
