Affordable Art Fair Seoul will be held 09 to 11 Sep 2016 in Seoul, South Korea. Affordable Art Fair Seoul is an international, contemporary art fair held in different cities around the world. Founded by Will Ramsay the Affordable Art Fair was organised as an alternative to the traditional gallery scene. Featuring work by established artists as well as newcomers, this annual show aims to make art accessible to everyone. The Affordable Art Fair is a unique, really great concept in which you can see and buy thousands of art works in an accessible and inspiring environment. Paintings and prints, sculptures and photography – you will never pay more than 5000 Euros for an original work of art by an upcoming talent or an established artist. Affordable Art Fairs all run talks programmes and artist-led workshops, and most provide art-based activities for children too. Affordable Art Fair Seoul is an event and I like events...
Fair's team have a winning formula. They succeed by tailoring our concept to local markets and each fair is supported by a comprehensive marketing campaign, which they implement through as many channels as possible to ensure they attract an eager art buying crowd. And with their price ceiling, visitors are assured the chance of discovering art to suit all budgets, and the wide variety on show ensures something to suit every taste as well. Affordable Art Fair is the leading showcase for affordable, contemporary art and as a fine art fair promoting original art, it is for galleries and dealers rather than individual artists.
At the Affordable Art Fair Seoul you can expect a fresh and friendly approach to contemporary art. You will find paintings, prints, sculpture and photography on show, and whether you’re an art novice or a connoisseur, searching for a gift for a special someone or hoping to add to an existing collection, discovering the latest emerging stars, or looking for a traditional talent, you’ll find it all at the fair!
As well as the fabulous art, there will be fun, free, creative and informative activities for everyone to take part in – from workshops and talks, to tours of the fair.
Seoul is a perfect city for an Affordable Art Fair. The 2nd edition of Seoul will be running from the 9 – 11 September 2016 (Private View opens on Thursday 8 September) and we will be welcoming over 16,000 visitors to the Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP).
