Affordable Art Fair Sydney

Overview

Given the cost of living crisis we're all currently experiencing it makes sense to try and save a little money when possible. And, while taco Tuesday and happy hour deals can help you do dinner and drinks for less, when it comes to investing in amazing pieces of art the solution hasn't been quite as simple, with top-notch creations generally still going for top-notch cash. Enter the Affordable Art Fair Sydney, giving you the chance to purchase amazing paintings, prints and pieces of sculpture, at a much more pocket-friendly price.

Following a successful Sydney debut last year, Affordable Art Fair: the sequel will return to Winx Stand at Royal Randwick Racecourse from Thursday, 15 June until Sunday, 18 June. You can expect 56 of the nation's best boutique galleries showing off original works from both established and emerging artists. And the chance for guests to snap them up for anywhere from $100 to $10,000. Yes, we know that's still a lot of coin, but considering pieces of this calibre can sometimes fall into the five-figure price range, it's actually a relatively great rate.

Our insider tip is to check out the Discover: Young Talent program, which will champion five new rising stars, and where you can invest in a piece that the fair predicts will only increase in value the longer you hold onto it.

Even if you're not quite in the position to Apple Pay your way to a piece to hang on your wall, you can still enjoy some of the activities on offer over the four-day festival, which this year will include live artist demonstrations, free interactive workshops, an outdoor sculpture park and a spread of snacks and sips.
