Now in its second year, the Cambridgeshire Art Fair returns to Chilford Hall Vineyard, Balsham Road, Linton, this June.
After the resounding success of last year’s event the fair has been oversubscribed with more than 65 potential exhibitors looking to fill 47 available stands. This highlights the fact that the art market in East Anglia is thriving and that the region itself plays a huge part in attracting galleries wishing to be a part of this exciting new event.
The final 47 galleries who have been selected for this year’s fair represent six nations and four hundred artists from around the world. They will be offering for sale over three thousand artworks in various mediums including: oil paintings, drawings, watercolours, photography, glassware, metalwork, ceramics and stoneware, making this the largest and most diverse sale of original art ever assembled in East Anglia.
Some of the galleries attending this year will be familiar to visitors from the inaugural fair in 2007 including Byard Art and EE Fine Art both from Cambridge. Also returning this year are Art Exposure from Glasgow, Enid Lawson Gallery from London, Galerie de Herkenning from the Netherlands and Monmouth’s Gallery Perutz. Notable galleries who are exhibiting at the fair for the first time include: Suffolk’s, Aldeburgh Contemporary Arts and Lime Tree Gallery, Morgan Boyce Gallery from Marlborough, Number Nine the Gallery from Birmingham, Wahle Contemporary from Berlin, David Lilford Fine Art from Canterbury, Bell Fine Art from Winchester, The Fine Art Partnership from Brighton and Art Fusion from Warsaw.
This year’s fair will again see a wide and varied mix of internationally recognised and highly collected artists, sharing space with those recently graduated or self taught.
With prices ranging from £100 to several thousand pounds, it is a perfect opportunity for visitors to enhance their existing collection or to make their very first art purchase, and for anyone concerned about taking work home a complimentary and professional wrapping service is provided for all artworks sold to ensure safe transportation...
