Bookings for autumn 2011 now finalised

Whether your interest is in paintings, sculpture or craft, or you’re looking for a specific unique piece or just wish to do some Christmas shopping, we are sure to have something to appeal to you. By buying at the Art Fair you will be benefitting the local community –money raised will help fund exciting new projects at The Beaconsfield School. There will be a diverse selection of paintings in many media, from contemporary pieces to more traditional work; watercolours, oils, encaustic wax, pen and ink, photography and more. Many of our artists sell very affordable prints and handmade cards too. There will also be a wide variety of ceramics, sculptures and pieces formed of glass and other materials. Alongside the art we have many local craftspeople selling a broad variety of high quality, handmade and original work ranging from textiles and wood, to jewellery and pens, via dolls and hand bound books. As well as the art and craft on show, there will be an additional exhibition of student art. The Beaconsfield School (a Specialist Arts College) recently ran an internal competition on the theme of ‘movement and energy’; winning entries will form the design for bold and vibrant decoration of panels within the school grounds. Winners will be announced at the art fair, and winning entries will be on display. On Friday evening many artists will also be in attendance; enjoy first choice of the art we have on offer whilst enjoying a free drink and nibbles and chatting to the creators of the items you see. On Saturday, homemade refreshments will be served throughout the day. Admission to this event is still FREE, and once inside you will find prices for all pockets; starting from as little as a pound, going up to several hundred pounds for the more valuable pieces on sale. Do come along and join us – have a drink and enjoy the work on display.
