Three Things to do this Mother’s Day at the Brisbane Fair

Treat mum to an art adventure of her choice this Mother’s Day at Affordable Art Fair Brisbane (9 – 12 May). Whether mum’s after a wholesome family adventure, an arty party with friends, or an inspiring and relaxing morning away from the usual hustle and bustle, treat her to an arty day out at the Brisbane Showgrounds Exhibition Building.

1. Relax and Unwind this Mother’s Day

The fair is a perfect place to unplug from the week’s busyness and decompress. Allow yourself ample time to appreciate each artwork and absorb the atmosphere. Linger at artworks that resonate with you and treat yourself to a refreshing beverage from our bubble bar or cozy coffee from our Johnny K x Cafe. Savouring something delicious can be a simple pleasure that enhances your relaxation. Sit and stay a while watching our Artists in Action transform a blank canvas into a masterpiece this Mother’s Day. Kate Quinn, a Brisbane-based mother and artist, will be painting from her pop-up studio over all four days of the fair with her pastel-hued still life studies. There’s nothing more cathartic than watching an artist paint!

2. Get Creative with the Kids

To encourage the next generation of talented artists, children under 16 can attend the fair completely free! Take the whole family on an art-filled adventure. Whether you’re looking for artwork to hang in the family room, or want to inspire the imagination of your loved ones, the fair has an activity for you.

A magical world of dinosaurs and rabbits awaits in the Children’s Art Studio x Dion Parker. With colouring activities, your little art connoisseurs can flex their creative muscles by making their own masterpieces. Plus, with complimentary face painting, creative kids can match their favourite artwork by Dion!

3. Mum’s Arty Weekend with Friends

It’s time to get the crew together, a shopping trip filled with colourful canvases awaits! Dress up and head out for the ultimate creative celebration at the Ovolo Hotels Arty Party on Friday evening. Sip on Kazba Sangria and dance the night away to pumping beats in the pink neon glow of roving performances by Dead Puppet Society.
