CADAF is a platform that organizes many different events throughout the year, including talks, exhibits and international art fairs.
Born from an idea of New Art Group LLC and New Art Academy (a company founded in 2017 that aims to provide professionals with easy access to education in art and new technologies), it is designed for showcasing new media and digital art (ranging from Virtual Reality to Augmented Reality to Blockchain to Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence to Immersive Experience, just to name a few), allowing the visitors to discover a great variety of artworks and artistic expressions. It also offers an environment where artists, galleries, curators, and collectors can engage in a fruitful dialogue within the digital art market.
In 2019, CADAF organized two physical editions: the first took place in New York City, in May, and the second in Miami, in December. Both fairs were well received and attended by technology and art communities, featuring works by selected artists and galleries.

In 2020, restrictions imposed by COVID-19 pushed CADAF to develop an online program - which has taken the form of ‘an engagement and sales platform’ - to provide a concrete answer to the difficult time many artists are facing. CADAF ONLINE is therefore the third edition of the Contemporary and Digital Art Fair.
CADAF is also at the forefront of #digitalartmonth, an event that showcases digital art and takes place both online and in different locations of a given city. The physical location for the current show is Miami, Florida (December 7 - January 7), where several partner locations can be visited to discover the Virtual Reality (VR) works placed around the city.
Hopefully this was interesting, as conversations about Art and AI are going on. All the posts are available here on the website at any time, where they are up-to-date. Have a good week.
