Following a successful debut in Brisbane and return to Sydney earlier this year, the world’s largest art fair organiser will return to its Australian heart this winter.
The Affordable Art Fair will transform the world-heritage-listed Royal Exhibition Building from 29 August – 1 September with thousands of never-before-seen art works from over 55 of the nation’s best boutique galleries, ranging from $100 to $10,000.
Aiming to demystify the traditional art buying experience with highly visible pricing and a relaxed atmosphere, visitors will have the unique opportunity to speak directly with gallerists, witness artists in action, and discover something new each day with works rotated as they sell.
The Fair’s Melbourne Director, Georgia Huestis said: “We can’t wait to return to the city that launched Affordable Art Fair’s Australian journey back in 2019. Five years on, we now have three fairs across the east coast and have welcomed tens of thousands of art lovers through our doors.
‘This year, we have so much to offer with a reinvigorated exhibitor program and immersive visitor experiences, made extra special by our 25th global anniversary. Whether visitors are seasoned collectors, art enthusiasts, or first-time buyers, our fair ensures an inclusive and enjoyable experience for all,” she said.
Tickets are on sale now via affordableartfair.com/fairs/melbourne.
The full gallery line-up will be announced soon.
