The Affordable Art Fair is back in November with the consolidation of the fair into an annual event.
Running for the eighth year in Singapore, the Affordable Art Fair (AAF) will be returning this November to the F1 pit building from 17 to 19 November. Recognised for making contemporary art buying more accessible, the upcoming Singapore showcase features art works priced from SGD100 to SGD15,000, with 75 per cent of works costing under SGD7,500.
2017 also marks the fair’s consolidation into an annual event. The past four years saw the hosting of two fairs per year in April and November. From 2018, the fair will revert to being held yearly in November. Singapore was one of three cities that had a twice-yearly run, the other two being New York and Battersea, London.
Asia Regional Managing Director Camilla Hewitson noted that focusing on one fair would better enable the AAF to work with galleries in growing the collecting culture and fostering art appreciation. She also related how galleries, visitors, and stakeholder have expressed their anticipation of the fair as an annual event.
