An Apple a Day by Duda,

A hundred plus galleries and work from more than a thousand artists should mean that most visitors whether established or first timers should find something to grace their homes. Not surprisingly given the recent official 90th birthday celebrations for Her Majesty the Queen there will be works with a royal flavour.

There is a constant freshness to this fair that brings both aficionados and newcomers through its portals. It provides a wide choice of paintings, sculpture, ceramics, drawings and prints that will complement your lifestyle be it contemporary or traditional. As the fair’s director Luci Noel says “Browse the vast variety of art on offer to discover what resonates with you, art should be an emotional experience – buy what you love and what you want to live with today and every day.”

The fair makes it easy to engage with art, to learn; we make art fun! Enjoy yourself and get involved in all we have to offer.”

The Fair once again comes back to where it all started originally – Battersea Park. This Fair really is quite a phenomenon and has proved a firm, popular destination for buyers each time it’s on. This is no doubt helped by the £40 to £4,000 range of prices but also by the wide variety of art, in all media, that the 100 plus handpicked galleries bring. One great advantage of the Fair is that you can take your purchases home with you on the day.
