Michael Neff, Butterfield’s Managing Director of Bermuda and International Wealth, said: “Butterfield’s commitment to supporting Bermuda and the communities in which we operate extends well beyond providing financial services.
“The unique art and culture of Bermuda, and that of the wider mid-Atlantic region, is important because it enriches our lives. We are incredibly pleased to be supporting the inaugural Atlantic World Art Fair.”
Lisa Howie said: “I am delighted to welcome Butterfield as the lead sponsor for this year’s Atlantic World Art Fair and thank them for their support. The fair presents an exciting new art market that everyone with internet can access.
“It is the perfect place to start building an art collection and we are happy to provide any assistance, particularly to those who might be buying art for the first time. Together we have the opportunity to share the talented contemporary art from our region of the mid-Atlantic with the rest of the world.”
“Collectors will have an opportunity to purchase over 250 top-tier selections of paintings, prints, photographs, textiles and sculpture, with prices ranging from $800 to $20,000.
“Information about artists, editorial commentary, and a parallel online program [such as art talks, panel discussions and studio visits] will be available to help develop cultural understanding and an appreciation for the region. Payments are made to the exhibitor directly and the buyer will assume the shipping and handling costs of the artwork.
