Exclusive to Our Members – Invitation to the Private View on 16th October and 2 for 1 ticket offer over the weekend 17th and 18th October
Housed in the magnificent gothic surroundings of the Landmark Arts Centre at Teddington Lock, the Midsummer and Autumn Landmark Art Fairs have established themselves as major events in the visual arts calendar. A 19th century Grade II* listed building, the Centre was a former church, which is now preserved for the benefit of the whole community. This unique setting and consistently high visitor numbers help to make the fairs enjoyable and profitable for the artists and makers that it continues to attract from the very highest end of the art market.
At this year’s Autumn Art Fair, taking place on Saturday 17th October – Sunday 18th October, from 10.00am – 5.00pm, visitors will find a huge variety of fine art based work, painting, sculpture, graphics, print and illustration, as well as a good selection of ceramics, jewellery and textiles. This Fair focuses on the artists themselves, who will be selling their own work as apposed to selling it via a gallery representative. This not only gives buyers the chance to talk to the artists in person, but guarantees they get a better deal on the work as they are not charging commission.
Unlike other fairs that have only galleries and other commercial enterprises as exhibitors, the Landmark Arts Centre strives to showcase individual artists and crafts people, including recent graduates and new talent. For further information on the Midsummer & Autumn Art Fairs contact Ben Kidger, Art Fairs Curator at the Landmark Arts Centre.
In January 2010 the Landmark Arts Centre will be opening its own Art Gallery to the public, providing visitors with an opportunity to see visual art at the Landmark Centre throughout the year, rather than the short time they are on display at the Arts Fairs. With this development and its ongoing activities the Landmark continues to be at the forefront of creative events in the area and is gathering in reputation.
As an independent charity, the Landmark Arts Centre is grateful to its highly valued trustees, members, volunteers and visitors whose contribution ensures the continuing development of the Centre for the whole community. The Centre does not receive any statutory funding towards its core operating costs and relies heavily on kind donations from benefactors.
