“Now back for its second annual edition, the fair returns not just with global galleries and accessible price points (relative to the global arts world), but with a theme that hits especially close to home: “Make a House a Home.” The concept emphasizes the connection between art collecting and interior design—an intersection that Austin’s design community has long understood, and one that the Affordable Art Fair is now championing front and center.”
“The Affordable Art Fair, which hosts nontraditional art fairs in cities across the world, will return to Austin this May. Last year, thousands attended the Affordable Art Fair’s Austin debut.”
“Alongside London and its three Down Under host cities, Affordable Art Fair has brought its budget-friendly wares to Brussels, Hamburg, Stockholm, Amsterdam and Berlin in Europe; Singapore and Hong Kong in Asia; and New York and Austin in the US.”
“Generally speaking, collecting art can be an expensive hobby to get into. Pieces often cost in the thousands, making the art world an inaccessible one for the average person. This is one reason behind the Affordable Art Fair, which is returning to Austin’s Palmer Events Center for the second year in a row from May 15-18.”
“The Affordable Art Fair returns to the Palmer Events Center from May 15–18, transforming the space into a vibrant art destination. Featuring 55 local, national, and international galleries, the fair offers thousands of contemporary artworks priced between $100 and $10,000.”
Our Fair Director, Cori Teague popped into Studio 512 to speak to presenter, Rosie Newberry about how to buy art – what to look for, how to decide what you like, how to hang, and everything in between!
“When looking at which U.S. city would be the best fit for our first national location outside of New York City, Austin was at the top of our list. We felt a strong connection to the city and saw the demand for contemporary art at an affordable price.”
“As the Affordable Art Fair unfolds its canvas in Austin, it becomes a part of the city’s creative narrative, leaving an indelible mark on the local art scene, helping explore the notion that quality contemporary art is within reach.”
“Earlier this year, the fair, which hosts events in 11 cities across the world, announced that it will debut its inaugural Austin edition this spring. More than 60 galleries will be displaying thousands of artworks by emerging and established living artists. The prices of works will range from $100 to $10,000.”
“Affordable Art Fair is celebrating its 25th year in business this October and I am very honored to be a part of this company for the last 13 of them.”
“The fair, which puts thousands of art pieces under one roof, is making its Texas debut while sharing art from local and international artists.”
“The contemporary art fair brings together over 50 local, national and international galleries who will display thousands of extraordinary works, making Affordable Art Fair the biggest art event that Austin has ever seen! From paintings to prints, sculpture to photography – there is something for every taste, space and budget – all within a relaxed and buzzy atmosphere.”
“Art aficionados and casual admirers alike have something to cheer about this spring as the internationally celebrated Affordable Art Fair is planting its easels in Austin. The fair isn’t just a salesroom; it’s a full-blown experience.”
