Brighton Art Fair - Open now

Is it the best fair and selection we have shown in six years as most visitors have commented? or is it good but not quite as good as last years selection as a few have said? Art is subjective so you may have to come and see for yourself.

Dog lovers may have baulked at the monster 7ft wide cat paintings in the lobby but others have fallen for them and gone away thinking whether they have a wall large enough to hang them!


Anyway by and large the whole exhibition has gone down fantastically well with visitors comments raving about the range and quality of the work on show. The fair's been busy and sales have been quite healthy so far so there's a happy feeling in the hall.

Setting up - real time

Virtually everyone has now arrived at the Corn Exchange and are frantically hanging and trying to get their pictures level


As well as deciding on what their hanging strategy should be. Lots of White space - gallery style or adapted car boot or inbetween. No major problems to speak of and it is looking really interesting, even half hung


I need to have a good look round to see what purchases I will make to add to our 'collection' such as it is. I've got some ideas though...
