Fresh Art Fair 2003 Opens |
|

LONDON, ENGLAND.- Now in its third year, Fresh Art 2003 will run from18th - 20th July 2003 at the Business Design Centre, Islington. Fresh Art is the only art fair of its kind in the UK, where emerging artists, studio groups and recent graduates have the opportunity to reach a wide audience of buyers, galleries and press. For the visitor the fair represents a unique opportunity to discover artists at an early stage in their career and to buy artwork directly from artists.
Fresh Art has already launched the careers of many artists with several of last year’s exhibitors now represented by galleries. Many also had their work shown on gallery stands at the London Art Fair in January of this year, which is run by the same team.
Participating artists are selected by an independent panel of experienced art professionals who ensure that only work of the highest quality is chosen. On the panel this year are Stephen Beddoe (ARTQUEST), Rod McIntosh (Florence Trust Studios), Cat Newton-Groves (Suite 77), Rebecca Hossack (Rebecca Hossack Gallery) and Jill Journeaux (NAFAE and Head of Fine Art Coventry University). The work selected ranges from painting and photography to sculpture, video and installation and participating artists are both international and UK based. Last year’s fair was hugely successful with over 15,500 people visiting Fresh Art over the three day period.
“It gives the public a unique opportunity to meet artists first hand and to discuss their work without the medium of the dealer. It also provides a one stop shop for talent spotting. Last year I “discovered” a wonderful young artist from Manchester whom I have since exhibited internationally to much acclaim.” Rebecca Hossack, Gallery Director, Rebecca Hossack Gallery
While over 150 artists take stands independently, studio groups and collectives pool their resources to exhibit at Fresh Art taking large stands which can accommodate a range of artists’ work. With around 30 universities and colleges from all over the country taking part, Fresh Art offers a fantastic opportunity to see the cream of this year’s graduate shows all under one roof. For the students this is much needed exposure at a critical moment in their career and can play a crucial role in determining the next step for them to take.
“I think that Fresh Art is an excellent opportunity for final year students to exhibit their work and begin to make contacts within the industry” Richard Stansfield, Batley College of Art & Design, Fresh Graduate of the Year 2002
Fresh Art is delighted to announce that Terrence Higgins Trust, the UK’s leading HIV charity, will be the beneficiary of the charity preview evening on Thursday 17th July.
