The Edinburgh Art Fair again returns to the Edinburgh Corn Exchange this November.

2009 marks our 5th Anniversary and we are sure that we can continue to build upon the success already achieved at each of the 4 previous events.

With 65 galleries travelling to the nations capital from as far afield as Argentina, Czech Republic, Ireland and Spain alongside some of the top commercial art galleries from throughout the UK showing the work of the many hundreds of artists they represent, there is sure to be something to suit all tastes and budgets.

All artworks exhibited at the fair will be for sale with prices ranging from £75 to tens of thousands and we are delighted that there will be many new works available for sale for the first time from some of the hottest talents on the art scene today alongside some stunning work by the many recently graduated and self taught artists just starting out in their careers with the view of being the stars of tomorrow.

Any galleries interested in being a part of future events should complete the enquiry form located HERE in the first instance.

We are sure that all visitors to this years fair will be highly impressed with the quality of galleries selected as well as the artists each of the galleries will be representing at the fair and very much look forward to welcoming you to the 5th annual Edinburgh Art Fair.

2008 Edinburgh Art Fair review

We would like to offer our sincere thanks to all who exhibited or visited the 2008 Edinburgh Art Fair.

We were absolutely delighted with all aspects of this years fair which was an enormous success and a record year for both attendance and sales!

Attendance was up around 20% on last years event with almost 12,000 visitors viewing and buying work from the 60 exhibiting galleries.

It was also extremely heartening in todays economic climate to see sales up significantly over last year with well over 1,100 original artworks sold over the course of the weekend with a combined value of more than £1.75 million.

Yet again the public were hugely impressed with both the range and quality of artworks available. There are few, if any, other events in the UK to offer such a diverse range of work, both in terms of price and style. This was commented on many times by our visitors and firmly cements the Edinburgh Art Fair as one of the best and most comprehensive art fairs to take place in the UK.

Much of the success of the fair is of course down to the exhibiting galleries, all of whom we would like to thank for their continued support and professionalism in representing their artists as well as for bringing together one of the best collections of original artworks we have yet seen at this or any other art fair in the country.

We would also like to offer a special thank you to North Edinburgh Childcare and of course Mailboxes etc. Edinburgh West End, both of whom again worked tirelesly to ensure the safety of our younger visitors and all of the 1,100+ pieces of art sold.
