Affordable Art Fair Brisbane

The Affordable Art Fair in Brisbane, often abbreviated as AAF Brisbane, is a renowned art fair showcasing contemporary art. Held annually in the spring, it was first established in London in 1999 by Ramsay Fairs Ltd. Since then, the fair has carved out a significant niche in the global art scene. While it's a prominent event in Brisbane, the Affordable Art Fair also graces other major cities such as Melbourne, New York, Stockholm, London, and Amsterdam.

This wide reach has made it an essential stop for art lovers globally. One of the fair's primary objectives is to make art accessible to everyone. This ethos is evident in its price cap of 10,000 AUD, ensuring that both seasoned art aficionados and newcomers can afford the showcased pieces. Brisbane, a city celebrated for its vibrant cultural ambiance, hosts the event at the impressive Brisbane Showgrounds Exhibition Building. Here, attendees can witness a diverse array of paintings, graphics, sculptures, and photographs. The fair provides a platform for both emerging talents and established artists. One of its standout features is the "Emerging Artist" section, where visitors can explore and buy works from the next generation of artists. Most exhibitors specialize in visual art and photography, attracting a mix of international and local art lovers, from gallery owners and investors to collectors and casual enthusiasts. AAF Brisbane stands as a testament to the series of global art events aimed at democratizing access to art. Conveniently, the Brisbane Showgrounds Exhibition Building is situated in the heart of Brisbane and is easily accessible by both public transport and car.

The first day of the trade fair is usually reserved for trade visitors and journalists.

The Affordable Art Fair will take place on 4 days from Thursday, 09. May to Sunday, 12. May 2024 in Brisbane.
