The Affordable Art Fair is once again pitching its tent off East Heath Road with more than 100 galleries from the UK and abroad showing a range of paintings, ceramics, prints and sculpture.
Previous Hampstead fairs – where prices range from £100-£10,000 have drawn the likes of Adele, Ricky Gervais, James Corden and Rami Malek.
Visitors will be greeted at the entrance by a suspended geometric sculpture ‘The Willow Tree’ transforming the space with movement and light.
Those buying tickets for the Summer Lates will enjoy complimentary drinks, DJ sets, creative workshops, and perhaps enjoy a cocktail in The Treetop Terrace, a rooftop bar overlooking the Heath.
The fair includes family mornings with free activities from painting workshops to face painting.
It will also have a section highlighting ‘Finds Under £500’ and a ‘Director’s Cut’ chosen by UK Fair Director Hugo Barclay, alongside curated displays celebrating female diversity, art inspired by Hampstead and its community, and art and wellbeing.
Mindful experiences include painting classes overlooking the Heath – led by local artists Simon Gazzard and Vanessa Brassey.
There is also a competition for Hampstead pupils to create art based on the theme ‘Heath and Happiness’, with winning pieces showcased at the fair.
The Affordable Art Fair runs on Hampstead Heath from May 7 – 11. www.affordableartfair.com
