About Affordable Art Fair

Written by the company

When Will Ramsay established the Affordable Art Fair in 1999, his vision was to create a relaxed and welcoming environment in which art-lovers could browse and buy 1000s of original contemporary paintings, sculptures, photographs and prints.

Fast-forward 22 years and Will’s ethos still holds true; our fairs around the world welcome thousands of visitors, who can take their pick from a mix of local, national and international galleries showcasing a huge array of artworks by established artists and rising stars, all priced under £7,500/€7,500/$10,000.

We hold fairs in London, New York, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Brussels, Stockholm, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney and Melbourne. Each unique fair is the ideal day out with family and friends, filled with a creative smorgasbord of artist performances, innovative talks and tours, hands-on workshops, live music and irresistible restaurants and bars.

In total over 2.8 million people have visited an Affordable Art Fair, and we have helped a staggering 538,000 artworks find happy new homes.

Excellent service. Painting arrived earlier than expected and very well wrapped. No need to take advantage of the returns service!

I live in Italy and I bought a photo arriving from Hong Kong and I didn't match the deadline (for one day) for order to be shipped within Christmas but the gift arrived on the 20th and it was perfect, When I asked to garantee about that they where honest and replied quickly that they couldn't garantee the shipping before the 25th but I took the risk and everything was all right. My experience is five stars!

Purchase process

Purchase process

I attempted to buy a nice, expensive piece of work only to find after transacting that the piece was not available.

I am not sure why I would waste time on this website again.

Hello AM,

Thanks for taking the time to give us your feedback, and our apologies that you have not been entirely satisfied with the service you have received.

We encourage our galleries to ensure the availability of their artworks is up to date, but occasionally we do experience situations where a gallery has sold the work elsewhere an have not updated their inventory. We do our utmost to inform clients of this as quickly as possible.

I ordered a Christmas present for my…

I ordered a Christmas present for my husband 15 days ago, my debit card was charged with the amount but I have still not received the parcel. As I am ordering from Sweden and I would have felt more safe if I had received any kind of confirmation that my parcel had been sent, or estimated delivery date but unfortunately nothing. When I try to locate the package on the website I get a 404 page not found message. Now I am obviously worried that my money are lost and my wall remaining empty with any artwork. Still waiting for any kind of communication from Affordable Art Fair. It is a shame as I have bought a lot on the actual fairs but will obviously go back to previous more traditional gallery options. And I will have to try to find a way to get my money back.
