The affordable art lesson
Real Homes|May 2022
Art can provide that all-important finishing touch to a scheme and allow you to express your style – but you can find pieces that won’t break the bank too.

The affordable art lesson
Ever feel like your room is lacking something? Walls looking a bit bare? Perhaps you need a hero piece - or even pieces - of art. ‘Art can completely transform a home,' says Will Ramsay, founder of the Affordable Art Fair (affordableartfair.com), 'whether it's a bold statement piece that lights up a room or a gallery wall of curiosities. But if you've shied away from art in the past, thinking it out of budget, panic not - there are lots of ways to make art a part of your home without blowing all your cash, and places to discover it, too.

The Affordable Art Fair was born in 1999, out of a wish to make art accessible to all. “I also wanted to demystify the art buying process, while supporting contemporary artists,' says Will. 'We now host fairs in 10 cities around the world. There are two London fairs coming up - Affordable Art Fair Hampstead (5-8 May) and Battersea Autumn (20 - 23 October). 'It's like seeing 100 exhibitions all under one roof, with art to buy up to a ceiling price of £7,500.
