The tenth Brighton Art Fair
Art Mart
Discover and discuss works from over 100 contemporary artists at the tenth Brighton Art Fair
Ten years of the Brighton Art Fair, and it’s going to be a fantastic celebration! With some amazing visual surprises lined up, even more fantastic exhibitors (one at just 16 being the youngest ever) and the use of the beautiful spacious Dome café and bar, where visitors can relax and enjoy culinary treats. It really is going to be a very special show.
Brighton Art Fair brings together over 100 of the best contemporary artists from the UK and abroad. Some have exhibited before, some are brand new to the event, but their work is all exciting, fresh and exceptional. Painters, printmakers, ceramicists, photographers and sculptors will be exhibiting the most original and eclectic work across as wide a variety of methods and subjects as possible. Artists themselves sell their work directly to the public, bringing a personal feel to viewing and to the buying process. Visitors enjoy meeting the artists – learning about their creative inspirations, techniques and future projects.
Brighton Art Fair takes place in the majestic and historic Corn Exchange in the heart of the city. The fair has built a very strong reputation for presenting beautiful work in a relaxed, informal and friendly environment.
To really celebrate the tenth year, we are delighted to be further supporting ARTHOUSE Meath, a charitable social enterprise offering art sessions, run by professional artists, to people with varying needs and abilities. The majority of ARTHOUSE Meath artists experience severe epilepsy. To reduce epileptic seizures for those living with epilepsy, it is important that the brain is occupied, enthused and interested. This is part of the service provided by ARTHOUSE Meath in a caring, sheltered environment in which the artists develop social skills, work ethics, team participation and technical skills.
ARTHOUSE Meath have exhibited their wonderful work at Brighton Art Fair for years and this year we have asked all our exhibitors to take part in a large collaborative piece to raise more funds for the charity. Each artist is producing their own piece of artwork on four wooden blocks, all of which will be shown in the foyer at the Brighton Art Fair and will be sold to the public for £30 each. The results have been phenomenal, and they will all look stunning grouped together. We would recommend coming early to buy – we’re sure they’re going to be snapped up!
The Private View takes place on Thursday 19 September from 6pm–8.30pm. This is by invitation only, but a limited number of tickets are available to buy via the Brighton Art Fair website. This is the chance to get the best of the fair, and of course the best of the wooden blocks! Enjoy some complimentary wine, delicious canapés courtesy of local business Plum Catering and enjoy the sounds of Verity and Violet’s close harmonies.
