Buying art — or even getting your foot in the door about collecting — can be intimidating, but a popular event at the Affordable Art Fair is returning to help put potential buyers’ minds at ease. An innovative speed dating event is one way visitors who sign up can get acquainted with several galleries on display at the festival without wasting too much time about it.
The speed dating event can be very helpful to first-time visitors to the Affordable Art Fair, which can be a little intimidating to some. Those who participate in the speed dating event will get about five minutes with a handful of galleries taking part in the Affordable Art Fair — valuable time well spent for participants to get their bearings.
With so many accessible artworks at the Affordable Art Fair, it’s easy for visitors to get overwhelmed by all of the artwork and offerings that they might be able to take home. That’s where the galleries come in, able to help potential buyers digest all of the art pieces available in their price range. It also helps soothe the nerves of buyers, who might be anxious about whether they’re getting a good deal or if the masterpiece in question is truly right for them.
The speed dating event isn’t the only activity organized to get visitors acquainted with all the Affordable Art Fair has to offer. There are also themed tours that take participants through booths in search of artwork that fits the theme in question, including new talents, art under
S$1,000, and other specific subjects.
Another tour is individually led, with visitors able to tune in via a smartphone app to guide themselves through the fair. This might work well with individuals tentative about interacting with gallery organizers looking to sell art, or those who might want to browse the festival at their own pace, with their own device.
The Affordable Art Fair has been, traditionally, a great way for art aficionados to get their foot in the door regarding collecting. With masterpieces priced anywhere from S$100 to S$10,000, the Affordable Art Fair is a perfect place for people to buy their first artwork. Another popular facet of the Affordable Art Fair is again returning this year: a wall of art on display that costs just S$500. Half of the profits of this wall will be going toward benefiting a hospital in Singapore.
The Affordable Art Fair is a great way for people to get acquainted with art, but so is taking a more hands-on approach by signing up for an art class. Visit SGArtClass.com to get started on your creative exploration by browsing the dozens of classes we offer on our website. No matter how experienced — or not — you are in art, you will be sure to find a class that’s right for you.
