Make sure your weekend plans include the Fair!

If you haven't made it to the spring edition of the Affordable Art Fair yet, there are only two days left for you to discover original, affordable contemporary art you can own! With over 75 galleries from around the country and the globe showing work from over 600 artists, there is plenty to see – and with over half of the work at the Fair priced under $5,000, there are plenty of affordable options within reach. The Fair will close THIS SUNDAY (only two days away) so be sure to enjoy the all of the artwork and amenities while you can!

Before coming by, you can check out these affordable art picks courtesy of art advisors Anne Huntington and Susi Kenna and our media partner, Artlog.com, to get inspired!

Once you're here, if you find yourself needing time to contemplate whether a work would look better in the living room or the office, you can take a break at our on-site café and drop into one the informal programs that will be taking place throughout the weekend in our Programming Lounge presented by The Conran Shop (and we even have programming for kids, courtesy of LittleCollector!).
