Pullman Yards served as a large industrial venue hosting 75 local, national and international galleries and arts organisations, and featured a stage for AAF events. The venue recently launched an initiative that was highlighted and promoted at the fair. Organisers and exhibitors were more acclimated on their second outing, trusting AMP and better using stands. Around 3,500 people attended the VIP preview, with many VIP tickets reportedly distributed via a widely circulated link. Several exhibitors joined on short notice with discounted rates. Attendance was robust each day. Atlanta friendliness and a relaxed, domestic character shaped visitor interactions and participation.
