The Grand Art Fair will have hand picked varied and diverse, but more importantly affordable, works of art from these galleries.
The show is very proud to announce the establishment of the Grand Art Fair that will feature an extensive and exclusive collection of galleries marking a new development for Grand Designs Live as it breaks new moulds with no other UK home show hosting a dedicated art section to date.
Lovers of modern art, street art, unique sculptures and prints, will find themselves surrounded by works from some of today's biggest names in the scene, including Banksy, Damien Hirst, Polly Morgan, amongst many others in the Grand Art Fair, which will be located in Grand Interiors sponsored by Dulux.
Works by emerging artists will also be on show, giving art lovers a chance to get into and support an artistearly on in his or her career.
The participating galleries will have a great platform to engage with consumers on a big scale. Grand Designs Live attracts over 100,000 visitors across nine days, many of them looking for high end designs and ideas to incorporate into their homes.
Visitors will have the opportunity to shop from a variety of artists and galleries with artwork to suit all homes and styles as well as gaining expert advice from established art retailers.
So whether you are a seasoned collector, a new collector or just an admirer of beauty and originality, the Grand Art Fair will give you the opportunity to add a touch of exclusivity to your home.
We are very excited to be involved at this year’s Grand Designs Live and are very much looking forward to showcasing our breadth of established and emerging artists to an audience that has their home firmly in mind. We've always championed the notion that you should enjoy the art you buy, be it a Damien Hirst, a Banksy or a lesser known artist; to have an artwork that has been produced and signed by an artist is an incredible thing to have in your home - it adds an abundance of personality and simply finishes a room ... and it might end up a great investment too.
