The Great Art Fair
UK 's Largest Art Fair Launches November 2006
Who will you discover?
The Great Art Fair, the UK 's largest art fair, launches this November at London 's Alexandra Palace . The Great Art Fair in London, from 30 November – 3 December, is the first in a series of new international art fairs which will tour major capital cities around the world, allowing visitors to discover brand new and established artists.
The Great Art Fair in London has established itself as the UK 's largest art fair, with over 350 exhibitors, and is now a sell out show. A wide range of art will be available to buy from national and international artists. Paintings, drawings, photography, sculpture, etchings, ceramics and textiles will be on sale.
From established names such as Royal Academician, Philip Sutton, whose works hang in Tate Britain, to emerging graduate talents and other exciting new artists, the fair is offering an inviting alternative from the often inclusive, elite art events and boasts an experience that will be truly rewarding to the general public.
The Great Art Fair presents a wide range of artists, ranging in price from £200 to over £30,000, who will be at the fair to answer questions and introduce their work to first time buyers and seasoned collectors alike.
The first truly international travelling art fair, The Great Art Fair has also started selling exhibition space for a series of further shows in 2007 in New York , San Francisco and Denver , as well as further shows planned for Alexandra Palace , due to an overwhelming demand from artists and galleries. There are additional plans for expansion into other worldwide markets.
“We wanted to offer a day out that appeals to the widest possible section of people, including families. From people who already collect right through to people who are interested in art but don't know a great deal and don't already buy, to those looking for an environment to learn, or simply for families or friends looking for a fun day out.” comments Show Director David Scott.
“The Great Art Fair is not in a trendy white space, or an intimidating West End establishment. Alexandra Palace , once know as the People's Palace, is a versatile and visually unique venue that is terrific for creating a fun and relaxed atmosphere. It will prove a great day out.”
Entry to the show starts from £5.00 (+ booking fee) in advance and £7.50 on the door in the UK . Call the Ticket Web hotline number on 08700 600 100.
