Fresh: shows a wider range of art than any other regional art fair. We bring together 50 leading galleries in one convenient place …500 UK and international artists, 5,000 original prints and paintings, sculpture, glass and ceramics. Our aim is to show original work for everyone’s budget, from as little as £50 to £20,000 or more, the vast majority well within your budget. We show a host of established artists, exciting new talent and famous names like Hockney, Hirst, Banksy, Picasso, Miro, Dali and Chagall. We are the only UK art fair with a dedicated Outdoor Sculpture Park at our Cheltenham showing 50 or more pieces of garden sculpture.
“Wow. I was expecting something smaller, less professional. The art is amazing, it’s like a huge show but it feels intimate…there’s a big buzz. Definitely coming back next year.”
Sarah H, Cirencester
Our venues are super-easy to reach by car and have masses of parking when you get there. We feel that if you’re going to buy a couple of paintings or sculptures, it helps to have your transport on the spot.
We exhibit galleries rather than individual artists. Galleries know the world of art and their artists, and are happy to share their knowledge. We have artists at the Fair to demonstrate their skills and talents, and answer questions. We have a programme of workshops so you can get creative. Make a day of it and stop for coffee, lunch or a glass of wine.
“FRESH is a great addition to the West of England’s art scene, with lots of high quality work from some of the country’s leading independent galleries – a great place to build an art collection”
Alison Bevan
Director RWA (Royal Academy, West of England)
We keep Fresh: fresh. We always try to have new exhibitors each time and always ask our returning exhibitors to bring new artists and fresh work. We have new ideas and we’re also the first art fair with a full scale outdoor Sculpture Park.
