After opening at 8am Eastern Standard Time in the United States, the VIP Art Fair struggled under the load of interested attendees. The site currently carries an advisory note warning that the site is slow response rates due to “the overwhelming number of visitors from around the world.”

At 2pm, visitors to gallery pages were met with PHP errors.

Anyone with further information?

While the site problems are surely an embarrassment to organizers, they can be satisfied with the proof of concept surrounding the fair measured by the response rates.
