I love going to art fairs! The first fair I ever went to in London was the Affordable Art fair, and its where I bought my first 'real' piece of art- A gorgeous Limited edition screen print by Delphine Lebourgeois- one of my favourite Artists!
So here is a list of what's coming up in London in 2015- I will hopefully be attending all of these- so let me know if anyone wants to meet for a coffee and a chat! If I have missed any great fairs then please let me know.
The Affordable Art Fair- 12th- 15th March

What can I expect? This is my personal favourite! An exciting and welcoming atmosphere in a huge gallery full of incredible fine art, photography and sculpture from up and coming artists- prices ranging from £50 to £5000. There is something for everyone at this fair- perfect for first time buyers!
