Join us for an unmissable celebration of creativity, bringing together a diverse range of artists, collectors, art lovers and all who are simply curious about art.

Set in a welcoming environment, our fair showcases a stunning array of original artworks, including paintings and sculptures. Whether you’re on the hunt for a unique gift or treating yourself to something special, this is your chance to discover one-of-a-kind pieces that speak to you.

Meet emerging and established artists, explore their unique creations, and snap up exclusive pieces to add to your collections.

With interactive workshops, live demonstrations, and thought-provoking artworks, there’s something for everyone.

Join us for an inspiring and dynamic experience where art, culture, and community come together.

Each Art Fair will feature a variety of exciting activities, including:

• A display of original artworks
• Opportunities to network with other artists and art enthusiasts
• Portfolio surgeries
• Live demonstrations and hands-on workshops
• Guided tours of the Firstsite gallery to immerse yourself in our exhibitions

Entry is free, but you will need to purchase tickets to participate in the live demonstrations and workshops. If you would like to attend a Portfolio Surgery session you would also need to book a time-slot.

This is an event you won’t want to miss – immerse yourself in creativity and take home something truly special!
