Affordable Art Fair

Melbourne, New York, Bristol, Paris, Amsterdam, Sydney, Milan, Brussels ……… but next week and weekend Affordable Art comes to Pimlico (Battersea Park) and you can furnish your rented flat with excellent works from the Affordable Art Fair! 120 galleries offer a stunning array of contemporary art from just £50 up to £3,000, from the hottest young talent to firmly established household names – so you are bound to find something you love whether you’re an experienced collector or simply looking for a masterpiece for the mantelpiece.

Their formula is simple: a relaxed, unstuffy environment and lots of good quality contemporary art. The price ceiling of £3,000 and the compulsory labelling of all artwork ensures you know what you can and can’t afford, and the huge array of paintings, sculpture, photography and prints means there is something to suit every taste.

But AAF isn’t just about buying art, the Education Programme offers a whole host of different activities, all of which are fun, informative and, free. Based around the theme ‘Park Life’, everything from drypoint printmaking to participating in a collaborative wall art project is on offer, along with the ever-popular Kids’ Activity Packs. For those who prefer to listen there are usually talks on collecting art and printmaking, and the Contemporary Art Society are running a Resource Centre where you can pick their brains about everything from art collecting to artistic techniques, along with a series of informal talks, which include a tour of the fair. Children can be kept entertained with the Kids’ Activity Packs and under 10s can be left at the free crèche.
