Glasgow Art Fair 2008

Glasgow Art Fair 2008 takes place from Thursday 27 March until Sunday 30 March 2008. Located within its trademark white tented pavilions which dominate George Square in the heart of Glasgow’s city centre, this eagerly anticipated annual art buying extravaganza offers its 16,500 visitors four days of buying, selling and discovering art.

Having firmly established itself as the UK’s most prestigious contemporary art fair outside of London since its inception in 1996, Glasgow Art Fair 2008 will showcase a record 46 selected galleries from Scotland, the rest of the UK, Europe and beyond exhibiting work by over 1000 artists.

Glasgow’s outstanding reputation for the visual arts; the Art Fair’s status as a platform for encouraging and developing Scotland’s art buying market, together with the City’s position as a European shopping and style capital, make Glasgow an ideal platform to present the best of contemporary art for sale and to encourage its residents and visitors alike to invest in new pieces.

With sales figures exceeding £1.2million and individual purchases ranging from as little as £50 to over £80K, occasional art buyers and dedicated collectors alike recognise Glasgow Art Fair as the place to view and discover quality work by established artists and cutting edge talent across a wide range of media.

Of the record number 46 galleries selected to exhibit this year, 11 will be showing at the Fair for the first time. From near and far, new galleries include The Watermill Gallery, Aberfeldy, New British Artists, Bedford, Capital Culture, London, Envie D’Art, Paris and Artlore, Alice Springs.

Artists’ work on display will range from internationally established names to emerging talent working across a whole range of media.
