The Affordable Art Fair takes place in Battersea Park, London SW11 each year. This year it will be on from Thursday 12th to Sunday 15th March 2015 and is well worth a visit. 

One of London’s friendliest art fairs - art lovers, art connoisseurs and art novices alike can browse affordable art by thousands of artists under one roof. There are 112 participating galleries from all over the UK and abroad showcasing art for visitors to browse and enjoy. All the art exhibited is for sale and prices are between £100 and £5,000. 

Paintings, original artist-made prints, sculpture and photography all on show. Whether you are looking for artwork that is traditional or contemporary, by a famous name or an undiscovered talent this is an excellent place to look.

We had a fantastic day at 100% Design yesterday. A wealth of outstanding ideas and innovations on show this year and both the visual impact and the practicality of the design solutions were truly inspirational. We have heaps of photographs, literature and samples to be sifted through for ongoing projects and for the design library plus everything we couldn't physically carry still to come! Here are a few eye catching ideas for now ..........

This is my favourite trade fair showcasing true and innovative designs and this is the 20th edition of the show. I will be there again this year exploring everything on display and hoping to pick up as much inspiration this year as I did last. It's trade only on most days but open to the public on Saturday 20th September 10.00 - 18.00. Tickets £15.00. For more information click here.
