WHAT IS AN ART FAIR?
What can I do at an Affordable Art Fair?
You can do anything, from strolling up and down the aisles of the fair to going home with a new artwork. We will have a bunch of educational activities for all different types of audiences, from family-friendly workshops to evening events that are perfect for date nights and panel discussions on relevant topics affecting artists today. There will be food and drink at the fair, so you can even sit down and take a beat in the middle of your time with us.
Can I buy artwork?
Yes, you can buy artwork! Our aim is to deepen your understanding of the contemporary art market before you leave. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions; we want everyone to experience the joy of collecting art. Feel free to take a work (or two) home with you!
Are there fun activities or do?
Absolutely, check out our What’s On page to see all the activities we have in store – for toddlers to seniors!
Can I walk out of the fair with my new artwork?
You sure can! But if you would like to get it wrapped we provide free on-site wrapping service for all your purchased artworks.
What if I didn’t buy an artwork and regret it? How can I find it after the fair?
No problem! Just send us an email and tell us as much detail as you can. If possible, describe the artwork color, size, style (e.g. abstract, still life), medium (e.g. painting, photograph, sculpture), gallery name or the approximate location of the gallery. If you have a photo of the artwork please attach it to the email as this will speed up the process.
