Manchester Art Fair is returning this November with its biggest and most ambitious edition to date.
With more than 8,000 art lovers expected to attend, the Manchester Art Fair will be opening to the public on the 5th November for its fifteenth edition.
As well as more than 120 exhibiting artists and galleries, this year will see a new expanded visitor programme of free workshops, intimate artist talks and exclusive limited edition print releases from world renowned artists.
Event director, Sophie Helm, said: “Since we launched in 2008 we have welcomed over 85,000 art lovers who have spent over £5m on art through the Manchester Art Fair.”
With more artists expected to be at the fair than ever before, appearing for the first time this year is Lexi Laine – an underwater photographer trained in the art of freediving in order to achieve her artwork.
Ben Baker, who brings his single line drawings to life by using iron wire, will also be attending the event.
In addition to this, the fair will feature some of the most respected galleries in the region, including Saul Hay Gallery and MASA_UK Art Gallery.
Saul Hay Gallery – established in 2016 – is one of the region’s foremost contemporary art galleries, presenting a diverse programme of modern painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics and photography.
MASA_UK Gallery is an independent and family-owned business based in Bury, that specialises in showing and encouraging investment in original artwork.
Also returning this November is The Manchester Contemporary, a collegiate fair providing a critically engaged environment for artistic exploration.
Supported and funded by the National Lottery through Arts Council England, The Manchester Contemporary is one of the most anticipated features of the event.
Manchester Art Fair is set to make viewing and buying quality art accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
To be involved in the Fair, visit Manchester Central between 4th – 6th November.
