Hello, I'm Tacyarg. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Art Palm Beach have been undone because they appeared to be promotional.

 * Hello Tacyarg,
 * I'm with Fabrik Media, the agency contracted by Art Palm Beach to produce the fair's social media content, newsletters, etc. I wrote the news release announcing the acquisition of Art Palm Beach by the Palm Beach Show Group earlier this year. (Please see a copy of the News Release following this message). The manager and director of Art Palm Beach, KASSANDRA VOYAGIS, has specifically assigned us the task of updating and correcting this Wikipedia page. All the edits I've made are under direction from Art Palm Beach. Now that some of my edits have been ​removed​, I will have to go back and make the corrections again, which is very time-consuming, costly and inconvenient for us. It's also unfortunate that ​a link​ ​to the page​ was sent to Art Palm Beach today, and they did not get to see many of the new edits I have made, as several of the relevant links and paragraphs I added have been removed, including two new paragraphs with information pertaining to updated programming. There is no more accurate source than the information we are providing because it is new and comes directly f​rom​ the new management of Art Palm Beach. I am happy to change the tone to make it appear more neutral but the material that was previously on this page was much more promotional in tone than the new updated material I am providing. I am a qualified journalist and experienced editor.
 * In the coming days I will be adding an image and more links. I will also be updating the programming information again, and references. (See News Release following this message)
 * Please do not revise our edits again. Any help you can provide would be appreciated.
 * Thank you,

 * OWNERS OF THE LA ART SHOW ACQUIRE
 * ART PALM BEACH
 * ART PALM BEACH 2023 TO BE PRESENTED BY
 * LA ART SHOW PRODUCER / DIRECTOR KASSANDRA VOYAGIS
 * JANUARY 25-29, 2023
 * Palm Beach County Convention Center
 * (LOS ANGELES – June 28, 2022) – Scott Diament and Rob Samuels of the Palm Beach Show Group, owners of The LA Art Show Modern & Contemporary, announced today the acquisition of Art Palm Beach. The show will be presented by LA Art Show producer / director Kassandra Voyagis, marrying the two fairs in a dynamic symbiotic state-of-the-art bi-coastal enterprise.
 * Now entering its 28th year, the LA Art Show will assume production of Art Palm Beach, carrying forward a highlight of the Palm Beach art season. The relaunched Art Palm Beach Show will build on the LA Art Show’s reputation, expertise, success and growth, drawing distinguished exhibitors and collectors from around the world while offering galleries the opportunity to participate in two affiliated blue-chip shows, two weeks apart.
 * Featuring more than 100 prestigious art galleries, Art Palm Beach 2023 will return to the Palm Beach County Convention Center January 25-29, 2023, the ideal timeframe to hold a modern and contemporary art fair in the burgeoning South Florida / Palm Beach market. The fair offers collectors a new entrée to explore and acquire the best of a broad selection of global contemporary and modern art in one of the world’s most culturally sophisticated and affluent cities.
 * “I am honored to embark on this exciting new venture, bringing the art community together in Palm Beach, Florida, with the insight gained from our remarkable achievements in Los Angeles,” said Voyagis. “With a focus on both coasts and an international profile, it is a thrilling prospect to facilitate this great event.”
 * Exhibitor applications will be vetted by a dealer advisory committee, ensuring a roster of international galleries showcasing a varied selection of artworks from both primary and secondary markets. Art Palm Beach will differentiate itself from the long-standing February Palm Beach Show, which features art, antiques, jewelry and design, by focusing on international galleries representing notable emerging artists as well as top names from the contemporary, modern, classical modern, post-war and pop eras. Re-envisioned for 2023, the design of Art Palm Beach will resemble the engaging contemporary look of the LA Art Show.
 * Under the leadership of Voyagis, the 2022 edition of the LA Art Show was highly successful for both visitors and galleries, generating strong sales and attracting 20 percent more attendees than the 2021 show – the first live event at the LA Convention Center post lockdown.
 * The LA Art Show is part of the Palm Beach Show Group (PBSG), a full-service show production company.Positioned to benefit from the current real estate boom, proximity to Miami and wealth of the Tri-County Area, Art Palm Beach will also gain from PBSG’s deep connection to the city’s cultural scene and the Group’s experience of operating in the convention center for 20 years. Both fairs will also benefit from the expanded outreach of a shared mailing list. PBSG President and CEO Scott Diament expressed great enthusiasm about the acquisition. “Modern and contemporary art galleries now have the opportunity to participate in two PBSG events, coast-to-coast, back-to-back. No greater concentration of major art clients exists in the United States than in Palm Beach and Los Angeles during the winter season,” said Diament.
 * Previous Art Palm Beach owners, David and Lee Ann Lester of Next Level Fairs LLC, elected to sell after deciding to retire from the art fair circuit. “We’re pleased to leave our existing Palm Beach fair and dealer friends in highly experienced and capable hands,” said David Lester.
 * One of the largest international contemporary art fairs in the United States, the LA Art Show returns to the LA Convention Center February 15 to 19, 2023.
