Fresh: Art Fair Returns Full Scale to Cheltenham
Following repeated lockdown postponements, Fresh: Art Fair made a tentative return to Cheltenham Racecourse in August 2021. Despite all, the Fair still attracted 4,000 visitors and, with record-breaking art sales of £750,000, produced an outstanding result for participating galleries and visitors.
Back again in June this year, the organisers are expecting a return to normal with visitor numbers topping 6,000. The Fair will have a full complement of 50 exhibiting galleries from all over the UK, notable among them the Lysenko Gallery showing work by Ukrainian artists.
Also notable will be Hidden Gallery showing highly collectible signed original prints and lithographs by Hockney, Banksy, Dali, Matisse, Miro, Warhol, Emin, and Riley. And joining us for the first time, The Wildlife Arts Society International will be exhibiting as One World Imagined.
With a programme of talks and artist demos, licensed cafés, and a balloon artist to keep the children busy, Fresh: really is the perfect place to browse and buy art.
