Edinburgh Art Fair
The annual Edinburgh Art Fair returns to the O2 Academy Edinburgh this September. Come along and immerse yourself in a world where art becomes a way of life!
About Edinburgh Art Fair
40+ Galleries | 400+ Artists | 1 Venue
Since its inception in 2005, Edinburgh Art Fair (EAF) has captivated art enthusiasts worldwide with its vibrant and diverse showcase of creativity. This annual international art fair held yearly at the iconic O2 Academy Edinburgh, has earned its reputation for presenting high-quality artworks from across the globe. EAF has become a celebrated event where established artists, emerging talents, and art lovers, converge to celebrate the beauty of human expression.
EAF is a meeting ground for galleries and artists, with this year’s exhibitors hailing from the UK, Europe, South Africa, South Korea, and Japan. This eclectic congregation of creators sets the stage for an extraordinary artistic exchange. The fair's mission is clear: to break down the barriers that can sometimes make art seem exclusive, and to prove that art is indeed for everyone.
At EAF, renowned artists seamlessly share exhibition space with recent graduates, self-taught creators, and mid-career talents. The result is a captivating collection of works that span a spectrum of styles, mediums, and backgrounds. The fair's ethos encourages discovery, sparking connections between attendees, gallerists, and artists whose creations might otherwise remain hidden.
EAF's commitment to accessibility is evident in its diverse range of offerings. With prices ranging from one hundred pounds to tens of thousands of pounds, visitors can explore and acquire items that speak to their personal tastes and budgets. From exquisite paintings, original prints, and sculptures to intricate ceramics, glassware, and bespoke metalwork, there's something for every discerning art lover to admire and acquire.
Families are welcomed with open arms at EAF, and a Kid’s Arts Group beckons young visitors to unleash their creativity in a safe and nurturing environment. Amidst the buzz of artistic exploration, attendees can find respite at the fair's licensed bar, coffee bar, and food stand. For those seeking a moment of tranquillity, a dedicated chill-out space provides the perfect escape from the lively crowds.
More than just a fair, the Edinburgh Art Fair celebrates creativity, community, and inclusivity. It's a space where art enthusiasts of all backgrounds come together to celebrate the power of artistic expression. Whether you're a seasoned collector, a first-time buyer, a curious browser, or a family seeking an artistic adventure, EAF promises an unforgettable experience that transcends the canvas.
Join us this September at Edinburgh Art Fair and immerse yourself in a world where art becomes a way of life. Discover, connect, and celebrate the incredible tapestry of human imagination and creativity.
